The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Vampire Academy and Bloodline series returns with the second installment in her acclaimed Age of X series.
Gameboard of the Gods introduced religious investigator Justin March and Mae Koskinen, the beautiful supersoldier assigned to protect him. Together they have been charged with investigating reports of the supernatural and the return of the gods, both inside the Republic of United North America and out. With this highly classified knowledge comes a shocking revelation: Not only are the gods vying for human control, but the elect—special humans marked by the divine—are turning against one another in bloody fashion.
Their mission takes a new twist when they are assigned to a diplomatic delegation headed by Lucian Darling, Justin’s old friend and rival, going into Arcadia, the RUNA’s dangerous neighboring country. Here, in a society where women are commodities and religion is intertwined with government, Justin discovers powerful forces at work, even as he struggles to come to terms with his own reluctantly acquired deity.
Meanwhile, Mae—grudgingly posing as Justin’s concubine—has a secret mission of her own: finding the illegitimate niece her family smuggled away years ago. But with Justin and Mae resisting the resurgence of the gods in Arcadia, a reporter’s connection with someone close to Justin back home threatens to expose their mission—and with it the divine forces the government is determined to keep secret.

      The second installment in bestseller Mead’s Age of X series (after Gameboard of the Gods) follows secular Republic of United North America (R.U.N.A.) religious investigator Justin March and his bodyguard, super-soldier Mae Koskinen, as they travel to R.U.N.A.’s deeply religious neighbor, Arcadia. Not surprisingly, Justin and Mae find little to like about the rigid, authoritarian society where women—including young girls kidnapped from R.U.N.A. and other lands—are bought and sold as property. While Justin pursues his investigation, Mae searches for her long-lost niece, who may be one of the “stolen” girls. Things are complicated by the gods who’ve attached themselves to Justin and Mae, and by rumors of a “war of the elite”. The main story is bracketed by ongoing intrigue between bickering deities. While the plot isn’t terribly original, there’s enough action to keep fans entertained.
