The Shattered Messiah Trilogy Series

"I have never come across such a perfectly hidden and brilliantly effected [plot] twist. The author needs to be commended." -CS Fantasy Reviews "The Last Goddess is a very exciting, smoothly written adventure that will stay in my collection to be re-read someday, which is not something I offer to many novels." -Doubleshot Reviews After a thousand years of war and destruction, the Messiah has finally returned...or has she? Ten years ago, Haven was the site of the final battle in a long and bloody war. Today it is called the City of Unity, and it remains the last, best hope for peace across the continent. But a city built upon diplomacy is a city filled with dark secrets, and for a calculating rogue like Nathan Rook, the buying and selling of critical information is a quick—and often dangerous—path to riches and glory. Since the end of the war, Rook has constructed a small underworld empire and helped maintain the tenuous balance of power between the two disparate religious factions battling for control of Haven. Until now. When Rook discovers an ancient coffin and finds a living, breathing woman inside, he realizes that he may have stumbled across the greatest discovery in modern history—or the greatest hoax. From her ceremonial dress to her elaborate tattoos, the mysterious woman is the perfect incarnation of the Messiah, and she wields a power that defies the very laws of magic. There’s just one problem: she doesn’t remember anything, not even her own name.

But as Empress I must learn to do both...and that, I fear, is a challenge I am not yet ready to face." —Kendera Darenthi, the First Empress Two months have passed since the Unity Day Massacre bloodied the streets of Haven, and the Darenthi Republic lies in shambles. Empress Malivar, the architect of a tenuous peace, is dead. The Assembly of the Six Gods, once a formidable international alliance, has disbanded.
