Description
Not all Gods are created equal . . .
Some are omniscient. Some omnipotent. Only one can forge a blade that can kill another god. And now that Albert Johansson has done it, all hell is breaking loose.
When the goddess of death killed the goddess of chaos, she hadn’t meant to wake every other god and godlet on earth and beyond, yet that’s exactly what Melissa el Hajj has done. Now every single one of them is hunting her, drawn by the demon knife she carries.
When gods die, worlds shatter. Kill too many and there will be nothing left. Mel’s blade is on a mission to kill them all, and anyone that stands in its way. Unfortunately for Mel and Al, it just might succeed. Now it’s a race to unmake the blade before it destroys everything they love, including each other.
