From the author of The Bone Witch, the thrilling sequel to The Never Tilting World spins elemental magic, fierce sisterhood, and vast, incredible landscapes into a YA fantasy epic perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sabaa Tahir.
After a treacherous journey and a life-shattering introduction to a twin neither knew she had, sisters Haidee and Odessa expected to emerge from the Great Abyss to a world set right. But though the planet is turning once again, the creatures of the abyss refuse to rest without another goddess's sacrifice.
To break the cycle, Haidee and Odessa need answers that lie beyond the seven gates of the underworld, within the Cruel Kingdom itself. The shadows of the underworld may hunger to tear them apart, but these two sisters are determined to heal their world--together.
But what happens when the path to salvation leads straight into a kingdom of nightmares?
- Fierce Sisterhood: Twin goddesses Haidee and Odessa, separated at birth, must learn to trust each other as they face down ancient monsters and their own family's dark secrets.
- A Unique Magic System: Experience a world of elemental powers where Firesmokers wield blue flames, winds become whetted knives, and the earth itself can be turned into a weapon.
- Journey to the Underworld: To break a terrible curse, the sisters must descend into the Cruel Kingdom--a dangerous realm of shadows and monsters where a sacrifice is demanded.
- A Broken, Dying World: Explore a planet torn in two--one side scorched by endless sun, the other locked in perpetual night--and the treacherous Great Abyss that divides them.
