The Burning Goddess

After saving the nation from foreign invaders and fighting the evil Empress Su Daji in a brutal civil war, Rin was betrayed by her closest allies and left for dead.

Despite her losses, Rin does not give up on those for whom she sacrificed so much: the people of the Southern provinces and, especially, Tikany—the village where she grew up. Back at her roots, Rin faces difficult challenges and unexpected opportunities. Although her new allies in the leadership of the Southern Coalition are cunning and untrustworthy, Rin quickly realizes that the true power in Nikan lies in the millions of ordinary people thirsting for revenge and who revere her as if she were a goddess of salvation.

Supported by the masses and her Southern Army, Rin will use every weapon to defeat the Dragon Republic, the Hesperian colonizers, and all who threaten the shamanic arts and their practitioners. As her power and influence grow, will Rin be strong enough to resist the increasingly insistent whispers of the Phoenix, commanding her to burn the world and everything in it?

Rin's journey of magic, power, and madness reaches its climax, and the young shaman finds her destiny—apotheotic, catastrophic, and unforgettable.
