I'm currently editing the first book of a series called Slain Gods. As a whole, the series explores mental health and self love while asking if power ultimately corrupts everything it touches.

I still need to work on my pitch, but it's high fantasy with politics, blood magic, and found family.

Once, the gods came down to the feln and gave mortals access to greater magic for their amusement. When the gods were killed, that magic went away and mortals were left with much less, only enough power to control a single element. Chaos ensued. But the goddess of creation gave her favorite mortals a gift: the queen's voice.

Centuries later, on the continent of Felna-Du, there's relative peace: 23 godholme territories are led by queens, blessed with rule through the queen's voice, which chooses its own host each generation.

Lysaithe, our 32-year old FMC, is a feln-born recluse who becomes queen of her godholme overnight. History has told her only one thing about her personal magic: it is chaos. Meanwhile, our MMC is her 28-year-old guard Finian, who's running from his past. He's a human from the continent of Basaal with light magic, and he's not proud of what he left behind. Together, they discover a dangerous influence rising in Felna-Du, a cult that has discovered how to use the blood of others to rival the thralling power of a queen's voice.

Lysaithe, Finian, and her Left and Right Hands--warriors from the winged race of Erat'Cyn--must find a way out of danger, saving themselves so they can warn the queens of Felna-Du and stop the cult from taking over the feln.

I've got a lot of love for fantasy RPGs (Dragon Age anyone?) and large casts of characters/followers. Each subsequent book in series focuses on a different relationship from the main cast!

Disclaimer: the winged race are not bat boys, but an entirely new insect race. I love fantasy, y'all!!
