“In a land where gods have been outlawed, Godkiller for hire Kissen, whose own family was sacrificed to a fire god, is forced to help when a young noble girl fused with The God of White Lies seeks her help. Together with a loyal knight turned baker they must journey to a war torn and God-haunted city for answers and aid. This immersive fantasy is filled with flawed, lovable, badass characters - and the audiobook narrator sounds like Ygritte from Game of Thrones!”

“Inventive and beautiful world building full of memorable characters: A godkiller, a knight-turned-baker, and a little girl whose life is tethered to a god without a shrine. The narrator made the story feel like an sprawling epic tale. It's a short read perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth and The Witcher, featuring a good balance between characters, action, and lore. ”

“I have not been sucked into a fantasy this quickly in a quite long time. And by quickly, I mean by the end of the prologue. Kissen is the best, deadly-with-a-sword grump. There's a little god of white lies. The baker who reluctantly returns to the role of knight. The disability rep is spot on. It's queer! It's intense! It's fantastic! It's your next, favorite epic fantasy! ”

“Did you want The Witcher books to be good?? And not sexist??? Read this book immediately! A godkiller, a baker-knight, a noble girl, and a little god of white lies embark on a perilous quest to a gods-ravaged city…and that is just the tip of the iceberg that is this excellent and gorgeously-written fantasy novel! Godkiller has the atmosphere of The Witcher , the heart of T. Kingfisher, and its own unique magic that makes it impossible to put down. ”

“Perfectly formed adventure tale for anyone looking for a buddy story with gods, magic, and smidge of romance. Wonderful character development and fabulous fight scenes. ”

“Absolutely loved it! Read it on audio and I will definitely be recommending this to everyone in my store. Reminds me of an adult Sabriel with elements of grown up Tamora Pierce. Perfect for fans of queernormative, diverse fantasy with a darker edge and foul-mouthed heroines.”
— Lauren • Chapterhouse Books
Bookseller recommendation
“The best fantasy I've read in years, and it kept me guessing! A story that slowly uncovers each character and their parts in the war that set the stage for the book's present, finally revealing each character's true motivation and the whole picture at the very end. Complex world-building with a cool God system and brewing revolution, believable, complex, and flawed characters, deep m|m platonic relationship, queer-normative, kick-ass women supporting each other, sign language, and a Godslayer with a prosthetic leg. You don't want to miss this one! ”

“An epic fantasy odyssey begins.” — Entertainment Weekly
""A richly rendered world . . . Kaner writes action that's both fun and intelligible . . . If ""The Last of Us"" didn't slake your thirst for stories of a grizzled fighter taking a tough kid on the road, then Godkiller should be your jam.” — Charlie Jane Anders, The Washington Post
Enter a land of gods and monsters, soldiers and mercenaries, secrets and wishes—the explosive #1 internationally bestselling fantasy debut in a new trilogy for fans of The Witcher and Gideon the Ninth
Gods are forbidden in the kingdom of Middren. Formed by human desires and fed by their worship, there are countless gods in the world—but after a great war, the new king outlawed them and now pays “godkillers” to destroy any who try to rise from the shadows.
As a child, Kissen saw her family murdered by a fire god. Now, she makes a living killing them and enjoys it. But all this changes when Kissen is tasked with helping a young noble girl with a god problem. The child’s soul is bonded to a tiny god of white lies, and Kissen can’t kill it without ending the girl’s life too.
Joined by a disillusioned knight on a secret quest, the unlikely group must travel to the ruined city of Blenraden, where the last of the wild gods reside, to each beg a favor. Pursued by assassins and demons, and in the midst of burgeoning civil war, they will all face a reckoning. Something is rotting at the heart of their world, and they are the only ones who can stop it.
