Lyndsay Ely talks about her latest fantasy novel, THE LOST RELIQUARY, and having a protagonist bound to the last goddess from an epic war between gods, and she’s done and really wants out.

She talks about world-building and gods-building, and how knowledge can be lost and hidden over spans of time, which ties directly into the quest Lys is on to find the last lost weapon.

THE LOST RELIQUARY is the first book in the “Divine Thrall” duology, and available October 21.
