The Gods Awoke

By Marie Vibbert
The Gods Awoke by Marie Vibbert digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

If the Gods were real, could you believe?

Hitra, high priestess of Revestre, already has enough on her hands: political upheaval, a distractingly attractive male servant, and an upcoming harvest festival. But when a column of flame from the heavens sends a city into tumult, it upends more than just her schedule. Now, Hitra must deal with a religious schism, ethnic strife...and a God growing out of control.


"Must read if you like SF with empowered women characters and some good banter along with your questioning of societal mores and standards"

~Mary Grimm


"An innovative slant on a fantastic religion, its worshippers and divinities!"

  ~Mary A. Turzillo, Cosmic Cats and Bonsai

"Even in a conflict on the scale of Gods, Vibbert masters the art of making small things matter."

  ~Lorelei Esther, illustrator, The Kitra Saga

"Creative, quirky, fun, Vibbert delivers a wild new take on divine gods and their petty squabbles in The Gods Awoke!"

  ~Tobias S. Buckell, Crystal Rain
