<p>For some, death can be a second chance. Especially in a world where godhood is the final stage of a human soul.</p> <p>Luna is one of those souls: a former cancer patient who finds herself awakening in Empiria, an afterlife where all the world's ancient pantheons coexist.</p> <p>But they aren't hanging out together by choice.</p> <p>After a great cataclysm separated the gods from the Earth, Empiria is now surrounded by a mysterious purple mass capable of disintegrating anything that passes through it. Even powerful gods.</p> <p>Thankfully, Luna is one of twelve engineered souls, designed by the pantheon heads themselves, who can actually pass through the mysterious mass without perishing. Five hundred years prior, these souls were sent down to Earth in the hopes of one day reuniting the old gods with their people. Not that anyone knows exactly how to do that.</p> <p>To make matters worse, not all the engineered souls have made it to Empiria.</p> <p>With reason to believe that the last of the gods are being held hostage on Earth, Luna will need to travel back to where she came from and rescue the missing gods from the clutches of a powerful, evil god who had been presumed dead after being exiled from Empiria.</p> <p>Luna is joined in her journey by other engineered gods such as a guilt-ridden Welshman expected to sit at the Round Table, a retired ballerina now tip-toeing around Olympian politics, and a frustrated fast-food cook from Osaka.</p> <p>Together, they must free the rest of the gods and decide whether their destiny is worth following.</p> <p>"Where the Gods Went" is a mythic fiction series written in a third-person multiple narrative structure similar to *Six of Crows* and with the mythic range of *American Gods*.</p> <p>Though a challenge, my goal as an author is to tell a truly global story where different cultures and points of view are at the forefront.</p> <p>If you're a fan of myths, isekai, or progression fantasy, this story is for you.</p>
