He failed once. The gods died. Now the world is bleeding out, and he has one last chance to stop it.
Theron is immortal, cursed to watch a thousand-year war grind the world to dust. He knows the truth no one else does: the Stillight burning above the Mountain Temple isn't divine. It's a prison. And the war everyone thinks is holy? It's a lie built on the corpses of the gods he helped destroy.
Now he lives in hiding, feeding a starving village and praying for redemption he doesn't deserve.
Nyra commands the Sylphar legions with ruthless precision. Victory is the only language she speaks. Mercy is weakness. Doubt is death. When her armies storm the Mountain Temple one more time, she expects another brutal, glorious triumph.
She's wrong.
Beneath six empty thrones, Theron and Nyra collide as ancient powers wake and the war's true architects reveal themselves. The Stillight isn't just a weapon. It's the only thing keeping reality from collapsing.
Stopping the war means confronting gods, bargaining with monsters, and making choices that will damn them both.
Some truths end wars. Others end worlds.
Perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, Mark Lawrence, and Brandon Sanderson.
A Shroud Undone is book 1 of the complete A Fractured Balance trilogy. No cliffhangers left unresolved.
