The Mare Gods The Sword of Nubium
by J.M. Thomas
Life for Audrey Reynolds consisted of nothing but the routine developed to cope with abuse. She never looked to the Moon, to the Mare Gods, for help, never prayed for their influence, and never cursed their apparent lack of interest in her existence. When civil war erupts among the Five of the Mare, Audrey finds Nubium, god of justice, in need of help and, quite possibly, in need of her love.The world looks to the Moon when in full and it is known the Mare Gods look back. A new Moon frightens the true believers who worry whether the gods have abandoned them and whether they will ever return. Storms are attributed to angry gods. Peace and prosperity means the gods are pleased. Humans understand precious little about how great, or how feeble, control over the course of events they have.When the Five of the Mare determine to fight one another for control of their realm, and ours, humanity will be forced to choose sides and hope to survive the war.If she had her way, Audrey Reynolds would stay as far away from the conflict as possible. A believer, but by no means devout, Audrey spent a lifetime wondering why the gods failed her in her time of need. These are her stories and how she comes to grips with Nubium, the god of justice, and his quest to restore peace among the gods.
