Cover Reveal: Tithe of the Saviours

tithe of the saviours

Gollancz is thrilled to reveal the cover to Tithe of the Saviours, the third and final book in A J Dalton’s magnificent fantasy trilogy. Following the cataclysmic events of the previous volume, Jillan and his friends believe they have found a safe haven. But the Saviours have other plans:

The gods will see you brought down…
The spirits of your ancestors will have their revenge upon you…
The Saviours will drain you of your very soul.

In claiming a place in the world, mortals have won many enemies for themselves. The ancient gods are jealous and conspire against them. The King of the Dead looks to lead his armies into the land of the living. In their own realm, the mighty Declension watches and waits, as events begin to unfold precisely as they had always planned.

Jillan and his companions are beset on all sides, yet are plagued by self-doubt and internal division. When the final battle for survival begins, both they and their gods face extinction. They are easy prey for the warriors of the Declension, who are intent upon stripping Jillan of his magic and raising up their empire once more.

His friends and beloved Hella taken from him, Jillan is captured and tortured. He is ultimately broken and condemned to work in a mine, to see out his days labouring in misery for the enemy he has fought against his entire life.

He is a man without hope. And there must always be a sacrifice…

Tithe of the Saviours is released in April 2014.
