Lara’s brother is dead and she’s a mess. She reads a book that helps-until she reads it again. Then it’s different. Dark and creepy and starting to mirror the strange, increasingly terrifying happenings in her own life.

Flintlock epic fantasy that’s a bit dark without going all grimdark. A condemned witch and a traumatized soldier on the run refuse to become the pawns of dead gods who want to murder their parents and a living sword with dreams of genocide.

A young witch discovers that her mother is a legendary assassin. When the mother goes missing, the witch is forced to team up with the one person she can’t stand - or the one person she can’t live without?

The sequel to the award-winning dystopian novel which School Library Journal called “a must-have for all libraries and fans of sci-fi."
