What does it mean if the gods can be killed?

In the land of the Rhune, trees can tell the future. Roaw can’t sleep before adding more human bones to their bed. Crimbels steal children through secret doors in the forest, and the gods are beyond reproach. But when Raithe’s father is slain, he does the unthinkable—he kills a god. From this act, rises the legend of the God Killer, the seeds of a rebellion, and the question of whether the gods are really immortal after all.

Before the Dark Ages, there was the age of Myth and Legend. Before kings and castles, there were mystics and heroes. Before Riyria, mankind lived in the shadow of the Fhrey, but that is about to change.

The First Empire is a standalone series. While set in the same world as the Riyria books, no prior knowledge is required to enjoy it to the fullest. For those who have read those books, you may discover I've not been truthful about the history of Elan. Such is the difference between myths and reality. Enjoy the true story of how Novron/Nyphron saved mankind and founded the First Empire with the love of his life, Persepohone.
