About this audiobook
When the gods go to war, who will stand against their divine fury?
In the thrilling conclusion to the A Fire Beneath the Skin trilogy, the enchanted kingdom of Helva faces a nightmarish future of endless bloodshed, and Rina Veraiin—a young warrior-duchess armed with mysterious, magical tattoos—must use her fantastic powers to save her home from eternal war.
As her far-flung friends scour Helva for additional tattoos to increase her formidable abilities, Rina reckons with an enigmatic death priest…the one whose contract grants her extraordinary magic but demands an awful price. When her debt comes due, can Rina make the ultimate sacrifice?
Deities clash and allies succumb as Rina strives to fulfill her obligation and confront her strange and shocking destiny. Becoming an ink mage taxed Rina’s resources to their very limits; now she must become something else, something more, something awesome and terrible.
If she fails, her world will fall.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pretty good audiobook, good narration and story isn't so complicated that it's hard to follow if you tune out for a few minutes but it's still engaging
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was an amazing sequel! I was captivated and couldn't stop listening!!! ❤️ ? ❤️
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A Painted Goddess by Victor Gischler is the third book in the Fire Beneath the Skin series but it can be read without reading the others first -but you will want to! Rina and her friends are now clashing with more than magic, gods are now in the game. Rina has more magic tattoos. There are more surprises, fights, action, excitement, twists, turns, and magic then ever, this book is fast paced and never boring! This is a wonderful series! It has wonderful characters that have stayed true throughout the series, well developed, complex, and very interesting. The plot is complex but makes sense in the end when the reader puts all the pieces together. A joy of a fantasy. A romance, a battle, and a magic ride. When is the next book? I received this book for a honest review from NetGalley and it in no way effected my review or rating.
