The Violent Stones

To overthrow her oppressors, Lillith must relinquish control and turn herself into a deadly weapon, in the epic conclusion of this progression fantasy. To keep his latest ally in line, Alpha-the Original Sage-has used Lillith herself as a bludgeon. Knowing she would be reborn after traveling through death from Earth, he devised the prophecy of the demon queen. Feared before she ever set foot in his world, she has become a common enemy to unite his people, distracting them from their true suffering. But Lillith has found a team of her own, and they're hatching a unique set of plans. Joined by the undesirables who've been relegated to a hellish existence and made docile by the absence of grief, she becomes part of a resistance against the sages and their corrupt rule. Cracks are beginning to show in Alpha's armor, and Lillith, riddled by cancer, has transformed herself into a weapon with a bat's wings, scorpion's tail, and insect's eyes. In a land of conformity, she's become something entirely unimaginable and incredibly ruthless. Now, reunited with her girlfriend, Sarafyna-whose divine magic keeps her alive-Lillith must also work with a mysterious revolutionary who's organized her cause by co-opting not only Lillith's message of liberation but also her appearance. Lillith is unsure if she can trust this new companion, but the last thing she needs is another enemy. And as she and her loved ones battle their way closer to the Alpha, their only salvation might rest in surrender. Following her brother's tragic death, Lillith has learned to hide her pain and tend to her wounds in private. But when a world numbed by its tyrannical leaders is desperate to feel anything, Lillith realizes that some things can't stay hidden forever. As she releases a battle cry strong enough to break down the sages' emotional control of the masses, an apocalyptic confrontation will ensue and, with it, the potential to bring healing to this battered landscape once and for all-even at the cost of her own life . . .
