    About this ebook

    Rich brown velvet that wasn't actually real gave under Keanu's fingers as he slowly sank back into the chair he'd been offered. Oh, so graciously offered.

    One could hardly be offended at all.

    Except Keanu knew that he was in danger.

    Because someone had stolen the moon and Keanu was supposed to find out who.

    If he didn't, he'd be the one to pay the price for it.

    With his life.

      Excerpt: Triumph of the Artificer Mages

      Afterword

      Thief of the Moon

      Rich brown velvet that wasn't actually real gave under Keanu's fingers as he slowly sank back into the chair he'd been offered. Oh, so graciously offered. One could hardly be offended at all. Smiles and warm words and nary a hint of the true power the other gods held.

      Yes, Keanu had no reason at all to be upset by being summoned out of the mortal world and into the godly realms. It was just a quiet chat, a little inquiry, don't you know, dear boy?

      He snorted and then glared as the other gods raised such eyebrows as they had at him.

      Quiet chat, his highly attractive ass.

      They wanted something and Keanu was fairly certain he knew what it was: his godhood, what little he had of it. It was inevitable, really, being summoned this way. He'd been traipsing about the mortal world like he was still fully human, going on quests and solving problems. That was likely what they'd be most upset about, really, the 'problems' he'd solved.

      Ancient Gods dead.

      The type who ignored the Council, the type who cared nothing for followers or worship or even their own lives. That was what he'd done. He'd gone off and killed a handful, not that Keanu had actually done anything to kill Elah Andringa. That was all Garnett who was handling his status as secret God-killer much better than Keanu had expected.

      There'd not even been one late night crisis of confidence or near lethal alcoholic binge yet. But then he'd always known that Garnett was made of tough stuff. One didn't cast off one's entire family, one's assigned gender, one's face, name, history and everything that went with it and not have a spine made of pure steel.

      And he'd known from the first moment he saw Xun that she'd never waver. No, that woman was going to be a god after death. She'd be sainted by a dozen religions for her accomplishments and then grunt when she arrived in the Council for judgement.

      He hoped she arrived with her bloody ax.

      Oh, how the other gods would scream in terror and Keanu would laugh and laugh and laugh. Xun Rosario, Slayer of the Ancient God Dorji Kita and new-born godling.

      It would be perfect.

      Now, Keanu, Aruna Spini, goddess of new bamboo shoots, said with a patently false smile at him that perfectly matched the cream and pale green décor of this antechamber of the Gods, we needed to discuss a few things with you. I know you're quite young and still getting your legs under you, as it were, but we have a problem.

      Really? Keanu said, deliberately wide eyed and as young as he could be even
