The Lost Reliquary

De: Lyndsay Ely

“A ruthless, epic, and darkly hilarious read.” —Sara Hashem, author of The Jasad Heir

A divinely blessed warrior bound to the last living goddess plots deicide to win her freedom in this propulsive epic fantasy for fans of Godkiller and Gideon the Ninth.

The Devoted Lands was once home to many gods. Now, after centuries of brutal wars, only Tempestra-Innara, the Enduring Flame, remains.

As a divine warrior, Lys is outwardly loyal to her goddess. If she dreams of deicide, that’s her business. When a routine heretical execution erupts into a near-fatal assassination attempt on Tempestra-Innara, Lys sees a glimmer of hope for her freedom.

Lys is chosen to hunt down the heretics and find an ancient reliquary with the power to kill a god. Annoyingly, she’s not alone. Paired with Nolan, a warrior from a rival cloister who is as pious as he is determined, Lys must feign devotion if she hopes to keep her own god-killing ambitions within reach.

But as they pursue the heretics linked to the assassination, Lys uncovers a world with more possibility—and peril—than she ever anticipated.

A Bold Heroine in a Rich Fantasy World

The Lost Reliquary is one of those rare fantasy novels that grabs you by the collar from page one and refuses to let go. Lyndsay Ely crafts an exquisitely immersive world rich with ancient secrets and divine politics, and she anchors it all with Lys, a protagonist whose razor‑sharp wit and unapologetic defiance make her instantly magnetic. Lys navigates devotion, trauma, and simmering resentment with a voice that’s as compelling as it is darkly funny. The audiobook narrator captures every ounce of her dry humor and simmering tension, making the listening experience even more engrossing.

The story’s pacing is propulsive, full of twists, betrayals, and revelations that kept me hooked straight through to the explosive ending. The dynamic between Lys and Nolan is a standout, equal parts tension, rivalry, and reluctant partnership. I’m genuinely excited for the sequel. This first installment sets the stage for something truly extraordinary.

If you love epic fantasy with complex characters, lush world‑building, and writing that feels both cinematic and emotionally resonant, The Lost Reliquary is absolutely worth your time. I’ll be thinking about Lys and her relentless, quietly rebellious fire for a long while.
