Two fated lovers are forced apart by a war between the gods in the epic conclusion to Katie Shepard’s USA Today bestseller The Younger Gods.

Previously dispatched by the gods to eliminate Iona Night-Singer, the former priestess leading the mortal rebellion, Taran instead fell in love with the little singer and turned his loyalties against the cruel gods’ rule. Embracing his divine power to break ancient laws and oaths, he has cracked the foundations of the immortal world to aid Iona’s struggle for mortal freedom…and shattered her understanding of the man she once loved and lost.  

In the aftermath of their defiance, Taran and Iona find the Summerlands rotting and crumbling around their feet as the vengeful god Death escalates his campaign of destruction against the dwindling, corrupt pantheon whose defense Taran is now responsible for. By choosing to marry an immortal instead of leading the fight against the dead who have begun to rampage free of Death’s control, Iona fears that she is slowly abandoning every principle that led her to rebel, while Taran would let the divine world collapse back into the sea before risking Iona’s fragile mortal life in battle. In the end, he doesn’t have a choice; Iona becomes a willing hostage to Death in his Underworld citadel, leaving Taran to continue her war alone.  

But if there’s one thing neither will sacrifice, it is their love. And Taran and Iona will do everything in their power to find their way back to each other again.

My 2026 resolution?
Butter. While I was in Paris I discovered that European butter has 2% more milkfat than American butter and that makes ALL the difference.

Why do we let them steal our milkfat? Arise, siblings! This year I eat only imported butter.

The Younger Gods (The Night-Singers Duology #1) Danger looms when a former priestess sails to the realm of the dead to find her fallen lover, only to discover the gods she thought she defeated are preparing for war.Iona Night-Singer thought she’d overthrown the gods. Her mortal rebellion eked out a painful victory by using the gods’ own powers against them—though she lost her betrothed, Taran, in a final battle with the god of death. Months later, the war doesn’t feel over. Not with Taran gone. Especially not when the gods still answer the prayers she sings.Angry, grieving, and with a gnawing dread that the gods will return, Iona strikes a deal with her former patron goddess: if Iona can convince Taran to follow her home from the Underworld, he’ll be free to live again. If she fails, they’ll both be trapped there forever.No sooner does she find him, she makes a horrible discovery. The dead gods have been reborn, they are plotting revenge—and Taran, it seems, was always one of them. This reincarnated trickster god with Taran’s face no longer remembers her or the war they fought together, and she doubts not just his loyalties but his love.Determined to stop the next war without revealing her part in the last one, Iona enters her deadliest battle yet, one where she fights to bring Taran home without him even knowing it.
