Description

"Supreme Goddess of Wisdom & War?"
"War & Wisdom," she said. "Tells you something about their priorities, doesn't it?"
Mortal Coil: Dog Days

The gods don't visit the Mortal Coil anymore, and for good reason, after What Happened Last Time. The criminals have unionised, the Steward is corrupt, and the City of Veils is still a den of iniquity, even after the priests left. But the Festival of Masks is coming soon, and there are rumours that a god will be present...

When Moxy Lynn accidentally infuses two copper dog statues with the bickering twin aspects of Aikyamaya, Supreme Goddess of War & Wisdom, she quickly finds herself on a hilarious adventure, at least for the reader, if not for Moxy. She meets Windhook, the half-tree, fake charlatan, smokes Dreamleaf with the Goddess of Indulgences, and faces off against the Chayya Syndicate, all on the way to help Aikyamaya find her semi-human-half-brother at the End Of The World.

Perfect for fans of Discworld, Mortal Coil: Dog Days is a hilarious fantasy trek through a world as rich as Moxy's tame corrupt billionaire, Spacer Goodman. Comedy, satire, divine bureaucracy accompany Moxy and the gang, with a Fallen Deity TM on their tails, in a surprisingly powerful story, for a book that doesn't take itself very seriously at all.

"Discworld meets Greek Mythology - join Moxy Lynn on a hilarious fantasy adventure with overworked gods, assassins with pension plans, and a Fallen Deity on her tail.

Mortal Coil: Dog Days is an absolute riot of a read, blending divine mishaps, citywide chaos, and sharp satire into one hilarious fantasy adventure. Moxy Lynn’s accidental entanglement with two very opinionated godly aspects leads to a story packed with absurd encounters—half-tree con artists, indulgent deities, and crime syndicates that mean business (literally). What I loved most was the razor-sharp humor mixed with moments of unexpected depth, making it more than just a laugh-out-loud journey. If you like your fantasy with wit, weirdness, and a bit of divine red tape, this is a great read.

Listen, if you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a goddess, a scam artist, and a girl with way too many problems walked into a city full of corrupt officials and unionized criminals, Mortal Coil: Dog Days has your answer—and it is GLORIOUS. Moxy Lynn is an absolute disaster (in the best way), the gods are overworked, and somehow, there's still time for smoking Dreamleaf and dodging assassins with benefits. This book is like Discworld and Greek mythology had a chaotic lovechild, and I loved every second of it. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who enjoys sarcastic gods, snarky heroines, and mayhem with a side of wisdom. ⚡📜😂
