"The novella of the year has arrived!"--Mark Oshiro, #1 New York Times bestselling author, on In the Shadow of the Fall
The fate of the Orisha will be decided in the concluding volume of the Guardians of the Gods duology by award-winning author Tobi Ogundiran.
For four hundred years, the world's remaining Orisha have fought to survive the rapaciousness of the soul-stealing Godkillers and the charismatic words of the singular, mysterious figure who leads them, known as the Teacher. Now they seek to kill the one person whose existence defies their very mandate.
Ash?ke carries within herself the spirits of the surviving Orisha, and she is on the hunt for allies who can help her defeat the encroaching army of Godkillers. But their influence is everywhere, and no one is immune--not even Ash?ke. If she is to succeed, Ash?ke will need to answer the question the Godkillers pose--are the Orisha even worth saving?
