Description
Tyrant magus Edrin Walker destroyed the monster sent by the Skallgrim, but not before it laid waste to Setharis, and infested their magical elite with mind-controlling parasites. Edrin's own Gift to seize the minds of others was cracked by the strain of battle, and he barely survives the interrogation of a captured magus. There's no time for recovery though: a Skallgrim army is marching on the mountain passes of the Clanhold. Edrin and a coterie of villains race to stop them, but the mountains are filled with gods, daemons, magic, and his hideous past. Walker must stop at nothing to win, even if that means losing his mind. Or worse... File Under: Fantasy [ In Your Head | Daemons & The Damned | Father Winter | Fighting Dirty ]

Reviews
"From the frantic opening page, The Traitor God grabs you and doesn't let go. Facing Gods, monsters, and a magic elite that wants him dead, Edrin Walker's return to Setharis is a noirish romp packed with action and laced with black humour, and marks Cameron Johnston as a real name to watch in the epic fantasy genre."
"The Traitor God by Cameron Johnston is part murder mystery, part detective story, and all fantasy that's full of magic, shady villains and even shadier heroes. A hugely enjoyable tale and definitely a 2018 debut to look out for. Marvellous stuff."
"Cameron Johnston is an exciting new voice in fantasy. His writing has a dark sense of humour and his debut is bursting with imagination and wonders. Fantastic stuff!"
"Johnston depicts a beautiful and lavish world that is a feast for the imagination."
"Cameron Johnston delivers again!"
"If you enjoy bloody, highly tactical magic battles, a slow burn demonic history reveal, and a grumpy and relatable jerk who you can't help but root for despite his flaws, God of Broken Things is your jam."
"A wicked sense of humor and a cast of flawed but striving-for-good characters keeps this mid-series entry from getting too grimdark."
"The end result is that Johnston delivers a kick-in-the nuts, edgy, and dark book that excites on every level."
