Meet the two kick-ass priestesses at the heart of these two fantastic debuts. In A.K Larkwood's The Unspoken Name, Csorwe defies her god to make her own destiny, following a wizard who promises her a life beyond sacrifice.
Meanwhile, Hessa, the warrior priestess in Hannah M. Long's The Hall of Smoke, disobeys her goddess, which not only puts her on a path of great loss and struggle but also embroils her in the ultimate conflict, the war between gods.
