"With a resurrected God at her side, Jessamine takes a step further to reclaim her kingdom in this brooding romantasy."
The second book in the Gravesinger series, The Heartless One follows almost immediately on from the events of the first book, The Deathless One, a moody debut that I heartily recommend you begin with. With Elric, a death god, returned to corporeal form, and their coven expanding, the gravesinger Jessamine is moving closer to taking back the throne that was stolen from her at the altar. But will the newly formed coven be able to uncover what the new king is planning?
With our shadow-god in physical form this book provides ample opportunity for the simmering connection that developed between Jessamine and Elric in the first book in this series to be explored in the “roman” element of this romantasy. Now together, they are stronger than ever, their power developing for what is to come. The action of this book comes in the form of a search for answers, following the lead gathered in The Deathless One - wonderfully wicked, bloodthirsty and gruesome displays of power. What more would you expect from death magic? The search for information provides tender morsels of world building and expands our knowledge of the gods long gone from this world.
This moody romantasy, with morally slate grey characters delivers a compelling development to our story, with larger battles still lying in wait for the witches and their god.
The Deathless One is back. Her coven is growing. It is time to save her people.
Jessamine never expected to stand with the Deathless One — let alone be in love with him. But now that Elric has returned to his corporeal form and Jessamine has joined the coven of witches that sustains his power, the pair are stronger than ever.
Yet the realm is still in turmoil. Jessamine and Elric must prepare their witches to meet the kingdom’s forces in battle, before the man who has usurped her throne learns how to harness the power of Elric’s fellow gods.
The war for good is never black and white. As the lines between right and wrong blur, can Jessamine accept that to fight for her kingdom, she might have to go against it?
