A Psalm Sung in Spores: Citadel by John Baltisberger

Equipped with the very best in technology, weaponry, and armor, the Crusaders are an elite galaxy-spanning military organization dedicated to destroying the gods, psychic entities capable of twisting reality on a whim. They traverse the stars in power-suits, dealing death to the tyranny of false deities in the name of freedom and equality.

Crusader Enianna Loret has trained her entire life to hunt down these twisted and cruel monsters. She is returning from a brutal mission to her order’s home world of Citadel, the central hub for all of the Crusaders’ efforts and considered the safest, most secure place in the galaxy. Except, it’s no longer the safe bastion that Eni remembers.

A new and terrible god unlike any they have faced before has infiltrated and infested Citadel, turning the world into a fungal nightmare and her friends and allies into violent thralls. With the planet now hostile and strangely-alien, Eni must gather old allies, older enemies, and all her faith in herself and the Creator in order to battle this unholy threat to all she’s ever known.
