The Shadows of the Divine: Book 2, Divinity Bloodlines (Divinity Bloodlines Series)
About
In The Shadows of the Divine, Kion “The Wraith” Olaniyi emerges as a powerful force challenging both mortal and divine authority. His deep-seated hatred for the gods, born from a childhood of abandonment and suffering, drives him to lead an uprising against Ethos’ elite and their divine patrons. As the leader of The Forgotten Sons, a coalition of disenfranchised warriors, Kion wages a war for a godless Abyssifar, forcing protagonist Kellan to confront the uncomfortable truths of divine manipulation and social inequality.
Kion’s rise is marked by his charisma, brilliant strategy, and mastery of ancient relics—artifacts that both enhance his own unstable abilities and further his quest for vengeance. His ability to nullify divine influence escalates the conflict, tempting factions within Ethos to defect to his cause. However, his alliance with Set, the god of chaos, proves his undoing, as his relentless pursuit of justice turns into a blind rampage, costing the lives of allies and innocents alike.
Ultimately, Kion is not just an adversary but a reflection of what Kellan himself might become if consumed by vengeance. Their final battle is both a physical and ideological confrontation, forcing Kion to recognize that his crusade has transformed him into the very oppressor he sought to destroy.
