“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.”

“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!”

“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! ”

“Godkiller will have you in its grasp from the first pages. . . An extraordinary journey.” — Samantha Shannon, New York Times bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree
"Beautifully imagined and intensely felt . . . Godkiller is a bone-rattling fantasy thriller that flies by in a breathtaking rush." — Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Locke & Key
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.
"Epic and intimate, tender and sharp, Godkiller is a triumph of storytelling." — Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf
Hannah Kaner is the #1 internationally bestselling author of Godkiller. A Northumbian writer living in Scotland, she is inspired by world mythologies, angry women, speculative fiction, and the stories we tell ourselves about being human.
