Heavenly Shadows

An astonishing steampunk story! Cruel gods and people with mechanical bodies on the pages of this dark fantasy novel. A steel city where nothing living exists… and only ash lingers in the air! An interesting world-building, an unexpected plot, and... extraordinary characters of the heroes. When the demigod Verlen is shackled in chains, there is no limit to Sephiza's outrage. But all attempts to prove that he is now on the side of humans are in vain. The vestal Eldris, along with the rebellious townspeople, decides to use the young man as an instrument for devouring souls. Verlen and Sephiza realize that they cannot be complicit in the series of murders. In the temple of the goddess Mistress of Mists, Sephiza learns about the possibility of restoring vegetation to a planet long covered in steel, if she also becomes a vestal. Now she faces a difficult choice – for this, she will have to renounce her feelings for Verlen… In the struggle between humans and gods, there are no winners. Especially when an ancient android capable of destroying everyone comes back to life. And while he hasn't managed to destroy kingdoms yet, Sephiza prepares for the decisive battle. A wonderful ending to the story. – Amazon.com
