The God of Bronze
by Unknown Author
A restless city. A dark prophecy. A god waiting to be born.
Amberes teeters on a knife-edge. The return of King Francisco brings chaos and resentment, while deep inside the Imperial Temple, the ambitious Inquisitor Tiberius is plotting the downfall of the divine. When the goddess of Amberes selects Lyta's beloved Sylvian as her Chosen, he must keep the peace in a city lurching headlong into outright revolution, forcing yet another wedge between the pair.
Lyta has worries of her own. From the unnatural shine in her brother Kit's eyes and the glow on his skin, she can guess where the creature that crawled out of the Nether has taken refuge. While Kit struggles against the being nestled inside him, he finds himself drawn to the familiar siren call of sedition and Guild politics. Finding Kit caught between the divine and civil unrest, Lyta worries she may lose him for good.
As Lyta tries desperately to hold her patchwork family and her world together, a dark prophecy about two siblings heralds the coming of a newborn god, a god whose rising could bring about the end of Amberes itself. At the heart of it all is a long-forgotten ritual—a ritual that starts with the bell, the book, and the candle. Bringing all three together will take the heist to end all heists.
