The stunning third book in the sexy, action-packed Crescent City series,
following the global bestsellers House of Earth and Blood and House of Sky and
Breath.
Bryce Quinlan never expected to see a world
other than Midgard, but now that she has, all she wants is to get back.
Everything she loves is in Midgard: her family, her friends, her mate. Stranded
in a strange new world, she's going to need all her wits about her to get home
again. And that's no easy feat when she has no idea who to trust.
Hunt Athalar has found himself in some deep
holes in his life, but this one might be the deepest of all. After a few brief
months with everything he ever wanted, he's in the Asteri's dungeons again,
stripped of his freedom and without a clue as to Bryce's fate. He's desperate
to help her, but until he can escape the Asteri's leash, his hands are quite
literally tied.
In this sexy, breathtaking sequel to the #1
bestsellers House of Earth and Blood and House of Sky and Breath, Sarah J.
Maas's Crescent City series reaches new heights as Bryce and Hunt's world is
brought to the brink of collapse-with its future resting on their shoulders.
Eurydice Dimitriou has always been the innocent sister, but she's finally
ready to step out of the long shadow cast by her powerful family…and the ex who
shattered her heart. Perhaps rough hands on soft skin are exactly what she
needs to forget her heartbreak once and for all?
Charon Ariti has been Hades's right-hand man for
years. He's given everything to the lower city, but now he's ready to take
something for himself. He's only too happy to give Eurydice a special kind of
education…but is her heart really free enough to be claimed?
Orpheus Makos will do whatever it takes to make
things right. Once the golden boy of the upper city, he's now a shadow of his
former self. He'll do anything to get Eurydice back…even if it means she's not
coming into his arms alone. Three hearts. Three futures. Countless ways to get
it wrong.
But with enemies slipping through Olympus's
faltering barrier to lay siege on the lower city, a trio of broken hearts will
be the least of these would-be lovers' worries…
Only the extraordinary are chosen. Only the
cunning survive.
An explosive return to the library leaves the six
Alexandrians vulnerable to the lethal terms of their recruitment.
Old alliances quickly fracture as the initiates take opposing
strategies as to how to deal with the deadly bargain they have so far failed to
uphold. Those who remain with the archives wrestle with the ethics of their
astronomical abilities, while elsewhere, an unlikely pair from the Society
cohort partner to influence politics on a global stage.
And still the outside world mobilizes to destroy them, while
the Caretaker himself, Atlas Blakely, may yet succeed with a plan foreseen to
have world-ending stakes. It’s a race to survive as the six Society recruits
are faced with the question of what they're willing to betray for limitless
power―and who will be destroyed along the way.
