Synopsis

Sarah Calhoun has taken her father's throne and ascended into her goddess's presence in Unfallen Eden as her father never did.

And Sarah Calhoun is dying.

Her uncle Thomas Penn isn't done with her. Armed with new powers conferred upon him by the Necromancer and with new allies won via his impending marriage, Penn aims to remove Sarah from her throne—and from the world of the living. In the meantime, Sarah has fallen out with one of her best allies. Against Sarah's advice, her brother Nathaniel heads into Imperial Philadelphia with the reckless and likely impossible aim of healing the Emperor Thomas.

To survive—and to gain the strength she needs to fight this impossible war—Sarah must unite the Moundbuilder kings to enact an ancient rite that will propel her beyond mortality. To do so, she must not only win over doubters among the Firstborn kings, but she must also beat back a rebellion among the Handmaids of her goddess—for there are some of the goddess's priestesses who long for the dark days of human sacrifice, and who are willing to throw Sarah herself upon the altar.

Goodreads review by CJ

Goodreads review by Liam

I should have read this sooner, there are so many things going on. This is dark and triumphant just like the last books, with some of the most down to earth worldbuilding in any epic fantasy, and it is truly epic still. Of course this is because it’s an American fantasy, alternate history but very t......more

The Serpent Wars Rage The masterfully crafted vision of a magically-infused early America is cast fully into war and intrigue in the latest Witchy novel by DJ Butler. Ancient powers arise across the continent, the wheels of government are greased with corruption and blood, and sacred oaths are bent,......more

Goodreads review by Thomas

The story continues in good form. This book certainly gets muddy in both view and terrain, you will see quick bursts of important events from the many different characters. From across a varied political and cultural cast and a wide view of events transpiring across the alternative North America set......more

Goodreads review by Danube

What a waste of time. After the third book in the series successfully killed the momentum for me (and with it my enjoyment), I hoped that the fourth book would repair the damage. Unfortunately, it was very similar to book 3.......more
