Deprived of Gods

Dark fantasy about Victoria Wood, who tries to save her younger brother Henry and finds herself caught in a struggle between the world of the living and the world of the dead.

The first book in Lisa Anderson's cycle opens a story about a secret society of wizards, family legacy, and a dangerous choice that depends on more than just the fate of one family.

The novel is released in the series «Acheron Order. Dark Fantasy» and combines elements of a magical academy, a romantic line, and a closed world with its strict rules.

At the center is not only magic and hidden threats, but also relationships between people who are forced to decide whom to trust when the family's past suddenly changes everything.

Victoria lives an ordinary and difficult life: she works as a waitress and cares for her brother after their mother's disappearance.

Everything changes when it turns out that their family is connected to the Acheron Order, and Henry has inherited magical powers.

To protect him, she goes to the castle-academy Avalon, where new guardians are trained to withstand the world of the dead.

In Avalon, she has to exist among people who are not happy about her arrival.

Especially hostile towards her is Ksan, one of the castle guardians.

Against this background, the story unfolds as a clash of family secrets, internal conflicts, and a growing threat that concerns not only the Order but also the heroine's own past.

The book features secret societies, a closed academy, a slowly developing romantic line, and a constant sense of danger.
