Children of Fallen Gods

In Carissa Broadbent’s Children of Fallen Gods, the burdens of loyalty and bondage collide within a war-scarred realm, where bargains made in desperation echo with unforeseen costs. Tisaanah, who severed her own freedom to rescue others from slavery, finds herself bound by a blood pact that drags her into the conflict she hoped to escape. Max stands as her custodian and protector, equally resolute yet increasingly embattled by the moral ambiguities of their world. The war waged by the Orders inflicts wounds not only on the land of Ara but on the souls of those who fight for what they believe to be just. A fracture in trust between comrades propels them toward a bloodier confrontation, where the line between ally and traitor blurs. Tisaanah’s dwindling agency hinges on wielding Reshaye’s power, a dangerous gambit that promises both power and peril. The narrative tightens around the corruptibility of victory, insisting that triumph earned at the expense of others may hollow the victor’s heart. Broadbent thus crafts a saga where heroism is tempered by cost, and freedom is reaffirmed only through the severest of sacrifices.^*
