Hello Everyone!
Today I’m very excited to bring you a spotlight for a fantasy book full steampunk vibes! The Thirteenth Hour by Trudie Skies is the first book in The Cruel Gods series, and it sounds absolutely fantastic. It’s been getting amazing reviews and I’m looking forward to reading it at some point this year!
Thank you to The Write Reads team and the author for providing me with a copy of this book and the promotional materials for this tour.
About the Book (From Goodreads): When the saints fail, the sinners step up.
Cruel gods rule the steam-powered city of Chime, demanding worship and tribute from their mortal subjects. Kayl lost her faith in them long ago, and now seeks to protect vulnerable and downtrodden mortals from their gods’ whims. But when Kayl discovers powers that she didn’t know she had—and destroys a mortal’s soul by accident—she becomes Chime’s most wanted.
Quen’s job was to pursue sinners, until the visions started. Haunted by foreboding images of his beloved city’s destruction, Quen hunts soul-sucking creatures made of aether who prey on its citizens—and Kayl is his number one target.
To ensure Chime’s future, Kayl and Quen must discover the truth of Kayl’s divine abilities before the gods take matters into their own hands.
For a city that bows to cruel gods, it’ll take godless heathens to save it.
The Thirteenth Hour is the first book in The Cruel Gods series—a gaslamp fantasy featuring magical portals, gothic cosmic deities, quaint Britishisms, and steampunk vibes. This is an adult book containing strong language and mature themes that some readers may find disturbing. For a full list of content warnings, visit Trudie Skies’s website.

Through the magic of books, she wishes to share these worlds of hope and heroes with other weary souls.
