When the God of Ruin Whispers Your Name

​Nephelle has spent a thousand years locked in the storm goddess’ temple, playing the perfect oracle to atone for nearly destroying the world.

She longs for freedom, but when Demergat, the magnetic god of destruction, reveals his plan to finish what they started, she refuses to give him a chance to betray her again.

To stop Demergat, she must resurrect the lost goddess of the sea. Nephelle hires the roguishly handsome Captain Morrow and his crew of marauders to navigate treacherous oceans in a race to find the sea goddess’ temple.

But the deities guarding her resting place haven't forgotten Nephelle’s crimes, and they're hungry for revenge.

As she falls for Captain Morrow, she dares to dream of a life unbound by the machinations of gods, but only Nephelle can decide if she deserves redemption or if she’s the monster the world believes her to be.

Ava Hollow writes dark fantasy that explores themes of mortality, truth, and redemption in the face of nightmares. She takes inspiration from Norse lore, and her work combines the enchanting with the macabre.

Living on a sailboat as a child sparked an obsession with mysteries of the deep and the true isolation that comes with exploring new worlds. She lives on the Florida coast with her family, and when she's not writing, she's painting, embroidering, or dreaming about buying a haunted house.
