The Bleeding Crown

Katya Obukhova has spent her life tending a dying god—an antlered colossus bleeding golden ichor in a frozen mountain cave. But when the Church of the Undying Flame sends soldiers to finish the kill, Katya poisons them and flees into the wilderness with a stolen map and a desperate hope: find the last surviving gods before the Church does. Captured by a Flame tracker with buried loyalties of his own, she's forced into an uneasy alliance that will carry them across a brutal winter landscape toward a revelation that could shatter everything both sides believe.
