Emily A. Duncan's Wicked Saints takes familar tropes and combines them in new and intriguing ways. Nadya, a young cleric in a hidden monastery, has a secret: she can talk to the gods themselves. When word of her gift spreads, she becomes the focal point of a holy war. To save her life and her whole world, she allies with a conflicted prince and a boy with a secret to fight for their lives and bring down a dangerous king.
