Sapphire has known only two things in their twenty-three years of life: betrayal and ruin. In Quiet Gods, they discover vengeance. Genetically modified with the DNA of a shapeshifting daemon – the mythical daeshu Saohl – Sapphire 'Ellie' Blake has been primed for the government’s military ranks from a young age. That is, until their family home goes up in unexplained flames and Sapphire is incarcerated for a crime they didn’t commit.
Sapphire’s sentence is decided: conscription as an Elite to the Kagosae, a showcase and hunting ground for the Tassurian military; and a job to kill the Kagosae’s most treasured Elite, Dion Kestales. One issue stands in Tassuri’s way. Sapphire is pregnant with an ‘illegitimate child’, and is shipped to the Arabella until they are deemed useful again. They meet Raeia, a scholar who is bound to The Arabella island, a mother and baby home used to launder unwanted babies. In defiance of Tassurian laws, Raeia secretly curates a library filled with banned books and mythologies.
But Tassuri’s plans for Sapphire won’t matter if their rage devastates the world first. When Sapphire’s baby does not survive the Arabella, and Sapphire becomes aware of the dabbling of a new empire, their need for vengeance smothers all else. Sapphire, severely disabled from their incarceration, creates an uneasy alliance with Dion Kestales and together, their connections to the arcane Lost Science threatens to destroy Tassuri’s curated reality of the past eight centuries.

First book in the 'Scales of Ruin' series.
