In the distant past, humanity was a prey, defenseless against the forces of nature. But then, the gods came to their aid, offering protection and guidance. However, as time passed, the gods began to fade away, leaving humanity once again vulnerable to the creatures that had once been their enemies.

The city of Valentine is now facing a dire threat. The monsters that the gods had kept at bay for centuries have returned, and they are hungry for human flesh. The streets are filled with blood, and the people are terrified.

In the midst of this chaos, a serial killer has emerged. He ritualistically sacrifices victims, their bodies left scattered throughout the city. Lilac Antonis, a young woman with a powerful connection to the gods, is determined to stop the impending destruction of her city. She knows that she must summon her mother, a blood god, to help her.

However, summoning a blood god is not an easy task. It requires a sacrifice, and Lilac is willing to do whatever it takes. She sneaks, lies, and even spills the blood of people she loves to evade her lover, Arcadia, and her friends.

Alex and Cecil, two detectives from Ace Investigations, have been tasked with hunting down the killer. They are unaware that Lilac is the one responsible for the killings, and as they close in on her, they realize that the gods may not have left willingly.

The gods' protection has a cost, and it is far more than anyone has ever known. The detectives are running out of time to discover the true culprit behind the gods' disappearance before an ancient divine murder plot destroys them all.

No Gods For Drowning is a novel set in an alternate reality that updates mythology to near-modern day. It is a blend of dark fantasy, noir detective story, and unlike anything you have read before. The author's imagination knows no boundaries, and the novel is filled with vivid descriptions and intricate plotlines.

As the city of Valentine faces its greatest threat, Lilac must summon her mother and confront the monsters that threaten to destroy everything she loves. Alex and Cecil must work together to uncover the truth behind the gods' disappearance and stop the ancient murder plot before it is too late.

In the end, Lilac discovers that she is a small piece in a larger plan, and that the gods have not abandoned her. She must use her powers and her connections to the gods to save her city and protect the people she loves.

No Gods For Drowning is a thrilling and suspenseful novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. It is a testament to the power of imagination and the resilience of the human spirit.
