Spirit of Arogia: Retribution

Kaela Vulprax-once the most feared general of the Arogian army-was forged in battle and nearly lost in it. In a desperate moment, she made the gravest mistake of her life: pledging her soul to Bellum, the ruthless god of war. Bellum crushed the Aftakhar Empire and rewarded her with weapons born of divine fire-the Kusarigamas, chained scythes blessed and cursed by his burning power.

Five years later, branded a traitor and hunted by the very nation she fought for, Kaela hides among the ruins of her past. Her salvation comes in the form of Magia, a witch who offers freedom at a deadly price-to slay the gods of torture themselves: Sanguis, the Blood Torturer; Sudor, the Harbinger of Sweat; and Lacrimae, the Tear Bringer.

Joined by Hati, a wolf-human hybrid and secret goddess, Kaela must rise again to defy gods, fate, and the very fire that binds her. Her final mission: destroy Bellum, the god who owns her soul.
