To Cage a God

When Galina was a child, her village was destroyed—and a stranger offered her a dark bargain: become a vessel for an imprisoned god, and one day use that power to topple an empire. Now, twenty years later, she's finally ready to infiltrate the palace with her foster sister Sera, both of them housing deadly deities and burning with purpose. But as they navigate the cutthroat world of the imperial court, Galina finds her carefully laid plans spiraling when she begins to fall for an enemy princess, while Sera grapples with her own dangerous past. It's a lush, morally complex dark fantasy that asks what you're willing to sacrifice—and who you're willing to become—when power and love collide.
