  A No. 1 and Sunday Times Bestseller! Red Queen meets These Violent Delights and Iron Widow in the epic first book in the captivating anti-colonial fantasy series, Gods Beyond the Skies.
  
  This gorgeous paperback features a limited edition sprayed edge and special cover finishes.
  
  
  
  Known as The Girl Blessed By Death, Yang Ruying wants only to survive, but when her magic is discovered by an enemy prince she must decide if saving her family is worth betraying her country.
  
  For as long as Yang Ruying can remember, the empire of Er-Lang has been occupied by Romans, whose advanced science and military make them Gods. But these Gods are not kind. Their only gifts: cruelty, opian and destruction.
  
  When Antony, the second Prince of Rome, uncovers Ruying’s power, she becomes what she always feared: the perfect assassin. As tensions mount and rebellion stirs, Ruying can no longer deny that peace is a death sentence for Er-Lang. A death she may not be willing to deliver.
