Blood of Gods and Girls

<''I have long since learned that justice and survival are not compatible.''

When she bleeds, the Kingdom falls.

At five years old, Nisha was selected to be the Living Goddess - a mortal vessel for the great Goddess Shantavi. But on her twelfth birthday, Nisha escaped the temple before she could be sacrificed at the hands of the Immortal King.

Now the Kingdom searches for its new Living Goddess and their eye has fallen on Ratna, the only family Nisha has left.

Helped by a Golden Eagle Warrior and the only boy she has ever trusted, Nisha must learn to embrace her power in order to liberate her people.

It''s time to take the Kingdom back.<>
