➽ Nadya – The cleric who can speak to all of the gods. Even if that means getting help from a powerful rebel mage, who is harboring many secrets of his own. The girl, desperate to live and to not have the gods be silenced, is willing to do anything it takes to live. Yet, the war commander prince notices that this girl is not among the dead. And one night, the girl’s monastery is brutally attacked, and she and her friend barely escape with their lives, while everyone else stayed back to ensure they could run away. Yet, there are people who are willing to do anything to make sure the gods and their religion(s) stay silenced forever. She has a power unlike any other, and it is her people’s hope to not only restore the faith of the gods, but bring them back into power.
And blood magic meant Tranavians.”īut this tale starts out with a girl who has lived and hidden within the protection of a monastery’s walls her entire life. “Cannons only meant one thing: blood magic. These two countries are warring, and the author never shies away from that, but they are also beautifully woven together to create such an immersive and captivating world and setting. There is also the desert lands of Akola, which we meet a few characters from, but I think the land will be explored much more in later books! But we quickly see how differently the first two places view religion, and how both nations are willing to do whatever it takes in the name of their beliefs. The author very much pulls from Russian and Polish inspiration and we get to see two countries, the Russian inspired Kalyazin, and the Polish inspired Tranavia. This debut fantasy, all about blood magic and a cleric who can speak to all the gods (be still, my wishful D&D heart), blew me and my expectations out of the water. From the lyrical writing, to the cold atmosphere, to the beautiful themes, to the characters that I’d already be willing to give my life for this book just felt like it was written for me. I’m going to be really honest with you all I feel like Wicked Saints is the book of my heart.
