This “enemies with benefits” story follows Talia, a people-pleasing eldest daughter on a collision course with a manipulative cult leader. Imagine Shield of Sparrows meets Westworld: a unique blend of gothic Western and spicy fantasy, with monsters and magic sprinkled on top.
In a frontier boomtown where divine magic is mined like gold, a people-pleasing scholar chases her forbidden research straight into a charming cult leader’s trap.
Talia Salaren is a brilliant scholar and obedient eldest daughter with a bright future decided by everyone but her.
But when she finds a dead god's journal, the secrets inside put her on the wrong side of four centuries of false history.
With her life's work outlawed, Talia flees to the edge of the world, where she walks straight into a trap–a dangerous expedition led by a cult leader who is very good at making people want things they shouldn't. He has no interest in studying the gods. He plans to become one.
As Talia and her companions push deeper into godforsaken territory, the myths she was raised to believe begin to fracture–along with the careful version of herself she's always performed.
The cult leader is wrong. She knows it.
For once, she wants to be wrong too.
If Talia doesn't choose what she stands for–and who she's willing to lose–she won't just have her heart broken. She'll become someone else's weapon.
A dark romantasy set in a gothic Western frontier world, NO GODS WEST OF HERE is the perfect book for eldest daughters who are ready to rebel and romantasy readers moving beyond shadow daddies.
