When history is a lie, survival becomes resistance.
In the ninth installment of the groundbreaking saga, J. P. Johnson plunges us into the heart of myth, where religions tremble, time twists, and truth fights to rise from the ruins of what we once held sacred.
Mamen, a woman with no master, no fixed past, and more power than the world is willing to allow, finds herself once again at the epicenter of a battle that spans centuries. At her side, Candy-sharp as her blade-defies empires, prophecies, and men in robes. And Lucius, the echo of past mistakes, returns with a message that could change everything... or end it all.
Buried ships, manipulated gospels, forgotten symbols, and one undeniable truth:
the origin was never what we were told.
A powerful, radical, and luminous novel.
A fierce reimagining of the past that sets the present ablaze.
A fearless journey to the core of myth, trauma... and the possibility of redemption.
Get ready. The world is about to burn. And this time, the fire has a woman's name.
