Paths of the Chosen — Kenneth McDonald

“We're not supposed to kill her, you fools!”

Izandra Colton and her brother Ezran come from a tiny village in the middle of nowhere, but those words mark the beginning of an unexpected adventure that will take them far from the little barony of Limbrock. The two siblings find themselves drawn into the center of a broader conflict, where battle lines are being drawn in a war that could ultimately claim both gods and men. In Book 1 of The Godswar trilogy, the gods of Creation learn that one of their own has turned against them, threatening the inviolate Compact by interfering directly in the affairs of the mortal realm. Limited in their own ability to respond, the gods choose mortal agents to investigate, unaware that their enemy has already chosen his own champions, who are working to release the ultimate power of destruction in the universe.
