The sequel to Hugo Award-winning author Kameron Hurley's acclaimed
debut God's War continues the story of Nyx, a former assassin caught
up in civil war on a bizarre far-future alien planet.
The only thing worse than war is revolution. Especially when you're
already losing the war...
Nyx used to be a bel dame, a government-funded assassin with a talent
for cutting off heads for cash. Now she's babysitting diplomats to make
ends meet and longing for the days when killing was a lot more
honorable.
When Nyx's former bel dame sisters lead a coup against the government
that threatens to plunge the country into civil war, Nyx is tasked with
bringing them in. The hunt takes Nyx and her inglorious team of
mercenaries to one of the richest, most peaceful, and most contaminated
places on the planet--a country wholly unprepared to host a battle waged
by the world's deadliest assassins.
In a rotten nation of sweet-tongued politicians, giant bugs, and
renegade shape shifters, Nyx will forge unlikely allies and rekindle old
acquaintances. And the bodies she leaves scattered across the continent
this time... may include her own.
Because no matter where you go or how far you run in this world, one
thing is certain: the bloody bel dames will find you.
