Mona is tasked with saving the world and everyone she loves—but what can she do when even the gods have failed?

Soothsayer Mona Arnett never even wanted a soulmate, and now she's been forced to marry the king, parting from the man she truly loves.

Worse, though Mona has delayed the prophesied end of the world, she hasn't prevented it. The gods have turned their backs, the castle is besieged by demons, and Mona is the only one who can seek help.

But who do you turn to when the world is ending and even the gods are powerless to stop it? To save all those she’s come to love, Mona may have to become even more powerful than the gods . . .

Praise for Wayward Gods

“A perfect sequel, Wayward Gods plunges into deeper intrigue and sweeps into wider, world-ending stakes. And Mona Arnette—queen, favored mortal, little shit—is just the disabled heroine you want on your side through the apocalypse. Helander masterfully showcases a heartbreakingly human cast that defies gods, a woman who defies her past and others’ judgments—and love that defies every boundary.”
Leanne Schwartz, author of A Prayer for Vengeance and To a Darker Shore

"This book is unhinged perfection—like, the book cracked open my ribcage, rummaged around in my chest cavity, and said 'yes, THIS is what you need right now.' The prose is knife-sharp, the world is devastating and gorgeous, and the characters??? I want to fight them, marry them, and let them ruin me in equal measure.

This isn’t just a book, it’s a full-body possession. It’s exactly the kind of story readers should be devouring right now: furious, tender, mythic, and so alive it vibrates. I finished it and immediately wanted to claw my way back inside just to feel it again.

I am begging you to clear your TBR, toss your responsibilities aside, and read this book."
Emily Varga, #1 international bestselling author of For She Is Wrath and The River She Became

Wayward Gods is the perfect end to an unforgettable duology—Mona proves definitively that blonds don’t have more fun after all.” 
Kat Hillis, author of Dead & Breakfast
