Godbound

In this page-turning high fantasy debut, a petty thief on the run from her all-seeing god is unwillingly drawn into a murder conspiracy when she finds herself cursed. Brimming with unpredictable gods, unreliable narrators, and suspense, this gripping Sapphic standalone is perfect for fans of Six of Crows and Godkiller.Every promise has its price... Annethe Tavery fell in love with a god. Now, he hunts her in a twisted game of cat and mouse. If she so much as thinks of him, her past, or even her real name, it will call him like a beacon to her. So she runs—straight to a port town, where a failed pickpocketing attempt leaves her with a nasty curse. There’s only one way to free herself: do the bidding of the nobleman she tried to rob. Annethe soon finds herself embroiled in a murder plot amongst the dangerous world of godbound—nobles whose pacts with gods have twisted them in horrifying ways. If Annethe doesn't complete the nobleman's task, the curse will rot her from the inside out. But the longer she stays, the more chance there is that her god will find her—and he isn't the only one looking. Before him, before all the death and pain and running, there was a woman Annethe loved—and who her god killed. Now, the scraps of Calika Korska’s body are held together by her own pact with an unstable god. And both of them are broken, angry, and hell-bent on revenge.
