Description
Join the rebellion to burn down a cruel tyrant in this #1 Sunday Times bestselling romantasy, perfect for fans of Fourth Wing and Shadow and Bone.
To cage a god is divine.
To be divine is to rule.
To rule is to destroy.
Using ancient secrets, Galina and Sera's mother grafted gods into their bones. Bound to brutal deities and granted forbidden power no commoner has held in a millennia, the sisters have grown up to become living weapons. Raised to overthrow an empire-no matter the cost.
With their mother gone and their country on the brink of war, it falls to the sisters to take the helm of the rebellion and end the cruel reign of a royal family possessed by destructive gods. Because when the ruling alurea invade, they conquer with fire and blood. And when they clash, common folk burn.
While Sera reunites with her estranged lover turned violent rebel leader, Galina infiltrates the palace. In this world of deception and danger, her only refuge is an isolated princess, whose whip-smart tongue and sharp gaze threaten to uncover Galina's secret. Torn between desire and duty, Galina must make a choice: work together to expose the lies of the empire-or bring it all down.

Reviews / Votes
A journey into sweet seduction and dastardly deeds, Elizabeth May has crafted a deeply realised and opulent world full of daggers and danger. Romance and rebellion define this exquisite novel, which sinks its claws in and won't let go. To Cage a God is a tour de force of romantasy writing, full of fire and ice, passion and revolution. Elizabeth May is back with a bang. - Hannah Kaner, Sunday Times bestselling author of GodkillerA neat take on dragons and steamy to boot! Love all this new romantasy and Elizabeth May is top of the class. - E. K. Johnston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Ahsoka
