Darling Daughter
The Scarlet Throne (False Goddess, volume 1)
By Amy Leow
2024’s The Scarlet Throne is the first volume of Amy Leow’s secondary-universe fantasy, the False Goddess Trilogy.
The goddess Rashmatun manifests to her devout followers by possessing the body of sanctified host girls. Through these living vessels, known as Rakhti, the goddess makes her will known. This system has functioned for centuries.
The current Rakhti is a teenager named Binsa. Binsa has secrets. For example, although traditionally Rakhti serve for a short term, Binsa has no intention of leaving office. For another example, Binsa is no holy vessel, just a barefaced liar dependent on demonic magic.
