The Light is Dark (Reign of Gods Book 1)

Death was supposed to be the end. The gods had other plans.

Belladonna, Goddess of Shadows, wakes in darkness with the taste of grave dirt on her tongue and a necromancer's magic in her veins. The man who pulled her from death's embrace calls himself Grim—and the world he's dragged her back to is no longer the one she remembers.

In her absence, Tritus has shattered. The God of Light, the king who once worshipped her, has become something monstrous in his grief. His radiance now blinds rather than illuminates, and under his tyrannical rule, mortals suffer beneath the magi's crushing heel.

To save Sorelle, Bella must raise an army from the shadows and march against the very god she once loved. But war isn't her only battle. Grim stirs something in her that the divine laws forbid—a dangerous want that could damn them both.

And as she moves her pieces across the board, Bella realizes she isn't the only one playing.

The gods are watching. And some of them have been waiting for exactly this.

Only darkness can extinguish the light. But at what cost?
