To Break a God

  • A gods-themed fantasy like you’ve never read before. With the City of Light, Silver City, Anna Benning creates a whole new, breathtaking world.
  • For fans of enemies-to-lovers romance, forced proximity and forbidden love
  • Featuring a strong heroine who fights against all odds – for her own freedom in a world of oppression and for her great love

Ever since Cassius abducted Aurora, she has felt herself slipping further and further away from who she is. As his valet, she is magically bound to him and can neither escape … nor resist the power of the Atherion sceptre, which is consuming her more and more with each passing day. 


Whilst Colden, as the new ruler of the gods, searches desperately for Aurora, order in Silver City begins to falter. A movement is growing in secret, one that yearns not only for Colden’s downfall, but for the return of ancient creators. And Aurora is the key to their liberation.


Caught between Cassius, who sees something greater within her, and Colden, who loves a version of her that barely exists anymore, Aurora must make a decision. And this decision will not only determine the fate of the world, but also whose life she can save – and whom she might lose forever …


The grand finale of the gripping all-age romantasy: With her ‘Godlight’ trilogy’, Anna Benning reimagines the popular gods-and-fantasy genre in a whole new light – more captivating, seductive and romantic than ever before.
