Ending the war will not restore what was lost. It will only determine who will live with what remains.
The war for Tellus has entered its final phase. As Lyanna Tempestas and Cassius Corvus lead the Revolution through its most decisive battles and drive toward a final confrontation with the king, the cost of that progress becomes impossible to ignore.
Lyanna Tempestas and Cassius Corvus cannot win the war without the gods, but the pacts that make victory possible are beginning to unravel them. Each battle pushes Lyanna closer to losing herself, her mind, and the people she cares about most. To end the war, Cassius must face the god who stands in his way while trying to protect his wife from the consequences of everything he has set in motion. The closer they come to ending the war, the more it threatens to end them.
For readers of The War of Lost Hearts by Carissa Broadbent and The Broken Earth Trilogy by N. K. Jemisin, Into the Flood is a psychologically driven continuation of the Gods of Tellus series that examines what it takes to win a war and what it costs to survive it.
