On the day Anna Torres was born, three people died in her Vermont town - including her mother.

Fifteen years later, a warning sends her searching to understand those deaths, and into a mystery that reaches far beyond her small town, straight into the path of Lyra Banks, the most dangerous woman Anna will ever meet.

Lyra was seventeen, smart, angry, and craving control, when a strange gift pulled her into the Forum, a hidden realm where nine gods shape the fabric of reality. Twenty years later, she is something else entirely: ruthless, formidable, and determined to unmake the one god who would stop her.

That god is Avvea, who created Earth - fragile, emergent, alive with a risk the Forum has never allowed. Now, watching Anna and Lyra circle each other, Avvea can see what's coming.

She has the power to stop it.

She will not.

Grieving Heaven is the story of three women bound by loss and love. One who created the world, one who tried to conquer it, and one who must risk her own life to redeem it. A meditation on power, grief, and grace.
