About this book

“Come with me, Lyssena, and I shall become your god.”

In a village ruled by rituals and gods who never answered, Lyssena had always obeyed. She was prepared for the marriage her family arranged, until the man she was promised to revealed himself as cruel and eager to break her. Cornered and alone, Lyssena lit the fifth flame. The one that should never burn, the one for the god with no name.

And something answered.

Erevos was not a god of mercy.

He was the dark beneath the altar, the shadow in the silence, the monstrous thing the other humans refused to worship. He heard her scream, and now she belonged to him. But claiming her was not so simple. Because Lyssena was a songbird who learned long ago how to sing behind bars.

A lush, dark monster romance filled with dread and devotion. A Prayer to No God is perfect for readers who want their love stories dripping in shadows and sealed in blood.

Such a fantastic start to a new monstrous duology! I absolutely loved the lore behind no one praying to the fifth god to the point of the fifth god not even having a name! From the beginning this made me a fan of the “fifth god” because there was mystery around him but also because he is the underdog god, and I am a sucker for a good underdog 😉 I loved that she was rebellious at two different points in her life by praying to the fifth god, and in doing so, gained Erevos’ interest and then...

Spicy, Sweet, and truly heart warming!

This book really was everything I wanted from a monster romance, and then some. It immediately hooked me. A long forgotten, forbidden god, a desperate heroine betrayed by family and faith, and a deep warmth that kept me turning pages. The relationship alone between the two of them is what absolutely sold me. Erevose strikes a PERFECT balance between terrifying and absolutely adorable. He's possessive, protective, an actual monster, and so thoroughly devoted that I can't decide if it's...

Gentle but fierce monster lovers, please read!

Prefacing this by stating I was blessed with an Advance Reader Copy of APtNG. Thank you, Nicole!! This book was a thrilling way to show what happens if you scream into the void in times of duress, and that void then answers with fierce reverence and loving obsession. Lyssena & Erevos' tale bridges the gap of finding oneself after years of religious trauma (known or not), and that finding of yourself coming from a place of adoration from beyond, and learning ones worth when you never knew it was...
