The Lost God

Cecilia is a Memory Witch at court, and her magic runs on exchange. She has paid in blood for memories and in pride for respect, and she has given up a forbidden, unrequited love for her guardian, Rainer, for the sake of her duty.

She is close to completing the Gauntlet, a trial that would release the power of the Lost God. Two kingdoms want that ancient power, and the tension between them has been simmering for some time.

Then the god of war attacks, and the tension turns into open war. Cecilia and Rainer set out on one last dangerous trip, deeper into enemy territory than they have ever gone. A charming hunter joins them and gives Cecilia a taste of the adventure and romance she has always wanted.

On the road they meet hunters who steal memories, forests of enchanted illusion and meddling gods who speak in riddles. Each step brings them nearer to the top of the Gauntlet, where the sacrifice Cecilia has dreaded is waiting.

This is the first book in an adult fantasy romance series. Cecilia must choose between her kingdom and her heart, and whichever she gives up will stay broken.
