From Richelle Mead comes a futuristic fantasy thriller filled with mythology, murder, political control, and dangerous attraction.

In a world nearly destroyed by religious extremism, the Republic of United North America keeps religion tightly monitored and controlled. Justin March once worked as an investigator of religious groups and supernatural claims, but after a failed case, he is sent into exile and left bitter, brilliant, and self-destructive.

His second chance comes when Mae Koskinen is sent to bring him home. Mae is an elite Praetorian soldier with enhanced reflexes, deadly training, and a controlled exterior that hides more than she realises.

When Justin and Mae are assigned to investigate a string of ritualistic murders, the case quickly becomes far more dangerous than either expected. The deeper they dig, the more they uncover signs that ancient powers may be returning, and humanity may be nothing more than pieces on a much larger board.

Dark, clever, and full of suspense, Gameboard of the Gods explores faith, control, mythology, desire, and the danger of dismissing forces that refuse to stay buried.
