Hope imprisoned the tattooed goddess for 1600 years, but now it may set her free. Amid a world war spanning a supercontinent, Ashe Stelfire and the superhuman Burnhelts unite on a quest to liberate her. A fractured band of warriors and superhumans from two worlds, fighting alongside enemies they don't yet trust. But first they must battle the dark empire pounding on the door of a beleaguered frontier city with an arsenal of unholy hexes and bleeding-edge technology. From the old soldier god's forgotten lair, to the toxic red haze of a forest of madness, to the forgotten subterranean sea, to the icy depths of an extra-dimensional fortress, their journey treads on the precipice of disaster. Knowing that their struggle is all part of Corsis's Game, their only hope is to break its rules. Some cages were not built to be opened. They must be broken. No matter the cost. Perfect for fans of Steven Erikson, Joe Abercrombie, and Brandon Sanderson. Shatter the ice.
