Bloodlust. Coterie of Mages, #5

They thought they'd escaped the nightmare. They were wrong. After enduring the horrors of a realm beyond comprehension, Iona and her allies return transformed-hardened, determined, and ready to reclaim control of their lives. But nothing in the Obelisk comes without a cost, and their bid for freedom only reveals deeper layers of deception. Their only hope lies hidden in the highest levels of the Obelisk.
But gods aren't so easily slain-and neither are the ambitions of those who serve them. What begins as a daring final stand spirals into disaster when they unknowingly deliver Sekhmet exactly what she needs. With an army of corrupted mages at her back and a clear path to Invictus, the goddess barely spares a glance at those who defied her. Until they give her a reason to. Bloodlust is a heart-pounding tale of betrayal, sacrifice, and magical defiance-the explosive climax of a war not just for survival, but for the very soul of the Hundred Halls.
Because in the end, true victory demands more than power. It demands everything.
