In the second book of this YA dark fantasy series, magical rivals must battle for survival in a visceral and deadly world. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Gideon the Ninth.
From the rubble of the old world, a new and deadlier one awaits.
Former rivals Alix and Elliot may have survived the apocalypse, but now that the curse on Fourspires has lifted, they find themselves in a lethal new palace built on fish bones and salt. Magic has new rules, and the only way to survive is to play deadly games of manipulation. Stranded in this unfamiliar, cutthroat world and plagued by twisted monsters, Alix and Elliot must choose between burning hatred and deadly intimacy.
Meanwhile, Taro has forced her way into the netherworld in a desperate chase for Nixie, whether she wants to be found or not. But they're not alone--an old enemy haunts them, and Taro and Nixie will need to communicate with the living if they're going to change their fates.
Because deep in the glittering new palace, the Drowning Rooms hold a terrifying secret nearly lost to history; if exposed, it could alter not only this world, but the one beyond.
