From the international bestselling author of Vampire Academy, comes the first book in Richelle Mead's new adult series, the Age of X.

The truth is, when you banish the gods from the world, they eventually come back - with a vengeance.

In the near future, Justin March lives in exile from the Republic of United North America. After failing in his job as an investigator of religious groups and supernatural claims, Justin is surprised when he is sent back with a peculiar assignment - to solve a string of ritualistic murders steeped in seemingly unexplainable phenomena.

Justin's return comes with an even bigger shock: his new partner and bodyguard, Mae Koskinen, is a prætorian, one of the Republic's technologically enhanced supersoldiers. Mae's inexplicable beauty and aristocratic upbringing attract Justin's curiosity and desire, but her true nature holds more danger than anyone realises.

As their investigation unfolds, Justin and Mae find themselves in the crosshairs of mysterious enemies. Powers greater than they can imagine have started to assemble in the shadows, preparing to reclaim a world that has renounced religion and where humans are merely gamepieces on their board.

Praise for Gameboard of the Gods: Age of X Book 1

This brilliant book is a miracle. Think American Gods with the romantic heart of Vampire Academy. What's the point of world-building if you aren't building something and someone to love? I'm in love with every character in this book. How do I know? When I got to the last page I turned to the first and started again, thinking this is why I read.

Margaret Stohl, New York Times bestselling author of Icons

Vivid world-building, whip-fast pacing, and a layered plot combine to make Gameboard of the Gods a riveting read!

Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author of The Arrivals

The book is fast paced and suspenseful ... A promising first book in a projected series.

Booklist

Provocative and dark – Gameboard of the Gods is epic in scale and impossible to put down.

Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of the Beautiful Creatures novels & author of Unbreakable

Once you start you will not be able to stop with Mead's addictive writing style and her way of creating a world which you just sink into.
