The Immortal Crown by Richelle Mead

The Immortal Crown by Richelle Mead

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Vampire Academy and Bloodline series returns with the second installment in her acclaimed Age of X series.

Religious investigator Justin March and Mae Koskinen--the beautiful supersoldier assigned to protect him--have been charged with investigating reports of the supernatural and the return of the gods, both inside the Republic of United North America and out. With this highly classified knowledge comes a shocking revelation: Not only are the gods vying for human control, but the elect--special humans marked by the divine--are turning against one another in bloody fashion.

Their mission takes a new twist when they are assigned to a diplomatic delegation headed by Lucian Darling, Justin's old friend and rival, going into Arcadia, the RUNA's dangerous neighboring country. Here, in a society where women are commodities and religion is intertwined with government, Justin discovers powerful forces at work, even as he struggles to come to terms with his own reluctantly acquired deity.

Meanwhile, Mae--grudgingly posing as Justin's concubine--has a secret mission of her own: finding the illegitimate niece her family smuggled away years ago. But with Justin and Mae resisting the resurgence of the gods in Arcadia, a reporter's connection with someone close to Justin back home threatens to expose their mission--and with it the divine forces the government is determined to keep secret.

Mead founded the Alban Institute in 1974 and is now its president emeritus. He has continued to consult with congregations, speak, and publish since his retirement in 1993. A Shift of Pastors:...And How That Affects Change in the Congregation (2005), More Than Numbers: The Ways Churches Develop, and Financial Crisis in the Mainline? are among his many writings.
