Merciless Saviors

By H.E. Edgmon
Merciless Saviors by H.E. Edgmon digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The stunning conclusion to the Ouroboros series, a contemporary fantasy duology in which a teen, Gem, finds out they’re a reincarnated god from another world.

That day at the First Church of Gracie changed everything for Gem Echols, and not just because Marian and Poppy betrayed them. Forced to use the Ouroboros knife on Zephyr, who had kidnapped their parents, Gem now has the power of the God of Air.

While for any other god things might work out okay, the Magician—whose role within the pantheon is to keep the balance—having the power of another god has thrown everything into chaos. The Goddess of Death can now reanimate corpses; the God of Art’s powers are now corrupted and twisted, giving life to his macabre creations; and, while the God of Land has always been able to communicate with creatures of the Earth, now everyone can hear their cries.

As Gem, Rory, and Enzo search for a way to restore the balance without sacrificing themselves, new horrors make them question how far they're willing to go. In the end, Gem may be forced to fully embrace their merciless nature and kill off their own humanity—if it ever really existed in the first place.

“4 1/2 stars “Just because there’s more to the story doesn’t mean the rest isn’t still true.” This was one of my most anticipated new releases, & I was hesitant to read it, afraid it would be able to answer all the questions I had from the first book... "It is not fair that sometimes the most loving thing we can do for someone is to let them leave." Did it answer all my questions? I think so. But it took the most circuitous route in doing so. Again, this book avoided the real problems with an urgency. At once point, I was confused & annoyed that an old & settled grudge was reignited with fervor, & put to rest just as quickly. It seemed pointless. Actually thinking about it now.... "That can’t be real. But it is. All of this is real. This is my life. I designed it myself." Representation: Indigenous trans & nonbinary MCs in a variety of LGBTQ+ relationships.”

“All over the place in a way that stops me from worshipping it as much as Godly Heathens BUT I still had a grand ol' time and will inevitably be comparing all the YA fantasy I read in the foreseeable future to this duology”
