The Tribulation of Gods: The epic conclusion to the West African-inspired fantasy series which started with THE DANCE OF SHADOWS

Formats & Editions

The Tribulation of Gods is the third and final book in the Song of Godhunters trilogy by Rogba Payne, an epic fantasy series set in a richly imagined, West African-inspired world of myth, magic and gods. Perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, S.A. Chakraborty and Patrick Rothfuss.

Young musician Rumi and his fellow wielders of the ancient magic of the shadow have won back their homeland, and retaken it from the colonising Palmaine nation. Their inexperienced queen has reclaimed her family's throne. But all battles have a cost, and this was not a cheap victory.

The Palmaine may have been driven away, but empires are not so easily defeated. Internal factions threaten to tear apart the newly restored nation. And the old native gods keep their distance while bloodthirsty godhunters roam.

Rumi and his new-found family must venture into the heart of their enemy's power, in search of a weapon which may tip the balance in the battle to come. But both nations have religions of their own, and the Palmaine's One God is beginning to stir . . .
