The Thirteenth God

Con artist Kalsis Chiroptera strikes a desperate bargain to escape his prison at the world’s edge: overthrow the Princeps, the immortal god-emperor ruling mankind. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Now, with only a ragtag band of survivors—including a gleefully homicidal golem girl—Kal must forge allies, commandeer warships, and scavenge ancient weapons to spark a revolution. His greatest hope lies in a legendary mecha that devours the bones of the earth to grow stronger, a machine capable of facing the empire’s colossal battleships. But the Princeps isn’t the only one with access to forgotten war machines, and Kal’s ragtag rebellion is racing against time before the empire crushes them for good. The question isn’t whether Kal can outwit a god—it’s whether he can survive long enough to try.
