The Faith of Beasts!! Just showed up on my doorstep.

It’s book 2 of The Captives War from James S.A. Corey, same author(s) as The Expanse. One is George R.R Martins understudy.

It’ll help keep my mind off my mothers death.

Loved the first book, but the short story that came out after it made me mad. I really hope it didn't spoil the identity of the great enemy.

They show them on the cover art from the polish edition of the first book, it jives with the short story.

Tap for spoiler

Aren't the main characters of the short story

Spoilerjust humans?

It seemed to me that they were the enemy the conquerers are scared of. The huge mystery that the first book ended with appeared to be resolved right there.
