No one escapes the Thorns unscathed.

In the brutal Kingdom of Night, elite swordsmen known as Thorns train with blood magic and blade. Souls chained until death, they are bound to protect their lords with their lives.

But not always willingly.

Izakiel, former crown prince, has the birthright torn from his hands and is sentenced to serve as Thorn to his younger brother, the newly named heir to the throne.

Aaram, piratical raider and son of the seas, watches his people slaughtered by the Armies of Night. Shamefully taken alive, he is enslaved to protect the very royal family he's sworn vengeance against.

Brat -- thief, street rat, survivor -- is given the choice between the noose and a new life. The decision isn't a hard one, and becoming a Thorn might even pay out in the long run. That is, as long as one dark secret doesn't bring everything crashing down.

United against the king who shackled their souls, these unlikely allies fight to break the chains of fate.

From bestselling author eden Hudson comes the swashbuckling new epic fantasy series The Strong Gods perfect for fans of George RR Martin's Game of Thrones, Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy, and Jay Kristoff's Empire of the Vampire.
