Cover Reveal: Abandoned by the Gods by Ronit J
Blurb:
Welcome to Adeva...
A land abandoned by the Gods themselves. The mortals that were left behind built a rich thousand-year history full of legendary exploits.
But history doesn’t remember everyone. Written by the victors, written for them, history has a bad habit of neglecting many.
This collection features four tales of those hapless souls that history forgot. A girl sold into divine servitude who would threaten to change the face of Adeva's history, a noble forced into dacoity fuelled by vengeance, a princess in forbidden love compelled to make an impossible choice, and an ordinary woman fighting to survive through a mad god-king's reign, this collection is an attempt to honour their humanity, to celebrate those who dared to defy norms, dared to thrive despite fate being against them.
Welcome to Adeva. Your faith will not protect you.

Additional Details: Set years before to Ronit J's as-yet-untitled trilogy, 'Abandoned by the Gods' follows four hapless souls living lives parallel to important historical events. Fated to endure extreme hardships, their perseverance received no remembrance by history's pages.
The four short stories in 'Abandoned by the Gods' can be read in any order. Only one of the four short stories (Bittersweet Chutney) gives you an actual glimpse at the main series and might spoil some of the backstory. But, that event is common knowledge at the beginning of book 1
