"A Bronze-age matriarchal Witch society empowered by Hekate’s magic.
A god with a taste for Witch blood.
A battle for the future."
This book starts abruptly, right in the thick of the action, and as a result it took me a moment to understand what exactly was happening but once I got the gist of the story, it was interesting.
An ancient tribe of witches who have descended from Hekate and a once nomadic group of humans who become a thriving Bronze Age civilisation because of their worship of Moloch, battle with each other for supremacy and survival. The way the book ended hints at a sequel.
My favourite characters were The Twins, Araja the Just and Araja the Demon, the first born of the witches and giants. They had sass, spunk and a sense of humour.
I received a digital ARC of the book from the publisher Sacred Consort Media and the author Mark Harris via NetGalley.
