A Light in the Dark (Immortal Ruin) Book One by Isla Kennedy

Sweet, poised, demure, and delicate…

Kenna Alviss was none of these things, and if anyone said otherwise she would backhand them.

Two thousand years ago, when the all-powerful gods fell into ruin from the effects of sibling rivalry and murder, mankind was left with only the scant gifts they had been given and a monarchy that cared little for their suffering. Misery reigned, and yet so many prioritized the hunt for their match-- the perfect soul destined to find them.

If that were true, Kenna wouldn’t be the most successful bounty hunter in Auld. It wasn’t that she enjoyed profiting on the desperation of others, but damn did it pay well. The gods had abandoned them all a long time ago, and Kenna knew that no happy ending existed for her. Not in this lifetime.

When a last minute job leads Kenna to a rickety warehouse teeming with religious zealots, the careful world she had crafted around herself begins to shatter. Face to face with the god of Death, Kenna is thrown into the centre of an ancient war between good and evil. Between the gods themselves.

Fleeing with her best friend Thomas, Kenna hopes to uncover enough to remove the bullseye from the centre of her back. If it weren’t for the innocent men and women being used as cannon fodder, she would leave the gods to destroy themselves again.

It seems that despite years of neglect, her stubborn conscience was not yet dead.

Gods damn it.
