The “Fallen Gods Series” series by Hannah Kaner is a captivating fantasy trilogy.
The series begins with “Godkiller”, where we follow Kissen, a godkiller whose family was murdered by a fire god. She now makes a living hunting gods in the kingdom of Middren, where gods are forbidden and hunted down. Kissen’s life takes a turn when she is tasked with helping a young noble girl whose soul is bonded to a tiny god of white lies. Along with a disillusioned knight, they embark on a perilous journey to the ruined city of Blenraden to seek help from the last of the wild gods.
The world of Middren is richly imagined, filled with gods formed by human desires and sustained by worship. After a great war, the new king outlawed gods, leading to a society where godkillers are employed to destroy any gods that try to rise again. The setting is a blend of dark fantasy and epic adventure, with a backdrop of civil war and political intrigue.
Magic in this series is deeply intertwined with the existence of gods. Gods are manifestations of human desires and beliefs, and their power is directly linked to the worship they receive. The magic system is unique and integral to the plot, as the characters navigate a world where divine beings and their powers are both revered and feared.
