A teenage assassin is betrayed by his brotherhood and plunged into supernatural conspiracies in this dark and innovative fantasy thriller.

In this extraordinary fantasy debut, a young assassin finds himself hunted by the brothers and sisters he has trained alongside since birth.

Neythan is one of five young warriors trained and raised together by a mysterious brotherhood of assassins known as the Shedaím. When Neythan is framed for the murder of his closest friend, he pursues his betrayer – and in so doing learns there’s far more to the Brotherhood, and the machinations of the rulers of the warring kingdoms, than he’d ever thought possible. His journey will lead him across the five realms, from the Forest of Silences to the Ash Plains of Calapaar, and reveal the breaches that lie beneath the world, and the hidden truths of his oath.

Praise for Lost Gods

"Yongo invigorates the epic fantasy genre with his original and accomplished voice in the striking and throroughly enjoyable Lost Gods."
- Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time

"Fast-paced and intriguing... with an African inspired setting that makes a refreshing change."
- Anna Smith Spark, author of The Court of Broken Knives

"Lost Gods is a fully immersive experience which made me a fan again. It made me seriously take my time, soak in its prose, get lost in this fully realized, rich and vital world, and get whisked along in its adventure. Micah Yongo pays respect to his elders, like Charles Saunders, while defining a space for himself in the pantheon of great sword & sorcery (sword & soul!). He is a griot, a true storyteller, coming into his own."
- Maurice Broaddus, author of the Knights of Breton Court trilogy and The Usual Suspects

"Lost Gods is a tense, complex fantasy thriller that keeps the reader guessing until the very end."
- Mike Brooks, author of the Keiko series

"Lost Gods is fresh, fierce, and lush with inspiration from the lands and mythology of ancient Africa and the Middle East."
- Cameron Johnston, author of The Traitor God
