Kameron Hurley's God's War opens the Bel Dame Apocrypha on a ravaged, contaminated planet where a centuries-old holy war grinds on, fought by mercenaries, magicians and conscripted soldiers. Nyx, a former government assassin, takes on a dangerous job brokering a deal between her government and an alien gene pirate — one that could end the war, if it doesn't kill her first. Infidel and Rapture continue Nyx's story, with further novellas extending the same world.
