Blood and Mercy - Blood of Titans: Restored, #2

Saving the world may have doomed them all. Keplan reels in the wake of grief and guilt at the blood on his hands. Outside the city walls, however, winter grows fiercer and droughts longer. Alea reforged the fractured world twenty years before--so why is it withering before his eyes? Then, just as he masters being a monarch, a prophet arrives spouting scripture about a One True God. Keplan's own mother killed the last gods, yet this one matches his description perfectly--and its wrath is about to fall upon Athrolan. Isolated within the same cold, marble walls as Athrolan's murderous king, Rih struggles to plot her rebellion leagues away from everything she has ever known.
With an unexpected ally, she may have finally found a way to the Mirikin Hetmir--until tragedy strikes. With religious fanatics at their walls, blight in their fields, and a king floundering from addiction, Athrolan spirals out of control. Now Rih must choose between a mad king's life and her own revolution. This series contains scenes of intimacy between queer characters. If this makes you uncomfortable, this is not the series for you.
