Divine Mortals

Praise

“With whimsical charm, sweeping romance, and a pantheon of snarky and fickle gods, Divine Mortals has all the magic of a fantasy classic-in-the-making. Mona is one of the most lovable, messily human protagonists I’ve ever read—you will fall madly in love with her and with this book.” 
—Ava Reid, #1 New York Times best-selling author of A Study in Drowning

“An absolute delight! Mona is a heroine after my own heart, navigating court intrigue, divine machinations, and an opposites-attract romance with crass humor and an iron will. With wit, whimsy, and fantastic worldbuilding, Divine Mortals will pull you in—and you might never want to resurface.”
—Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic

“Mona’s unique voice—by turns bratty, guilt-stricken, horny, doubting, determined, but always that of a survivor—make her a dazzling and oh-so-relatable protagonist for this wildly inventive debut. Helander has divined a story that’s twisty, addictive, and sharp as a slap. I absolutely inhaled it!”
—Shelley Parker-Chan, USA Today best-selling author of the Radiant Emperor duology

“Effortlessly combining fantasy and romance, Divine Mortals is a dazzling debut. Mona is a protagonist for the ages, combining incredible power and hilarious wit with crushing doubt and realistic trauma. Helander explores the depths of grief and the subtleties of the human mind while delivering swoony romance and a spirited plot with deft confidence.”
—Vaishnavi Patel, New York Times best-selling author of Kaikeyi


“Divine Mortals has all the wit and banter of the best romances, set in an eerie, atmospheric fantasy realm where murderers could strike at any moment and the fate of the world is at stake. Funny, delightful, dark, and magical all the way through.”
—Robin Wasley, author of Dead Things Are Closer Than They Appear

“Divine Mortals is witty, sexy, and heart wrenching, with a beautifully rendered world and characters.”
—AY Chao, #1 Sunday Times best-selling author of Shanghai Immortal
