City of Spells, the follow-up to Alexandra Christo's gritty YA fantasy
Into the Crooked Place, finds the world on the brink of war and four
unlikely allies facing sacrifices they had never imagined.
After the loss of Wesley and the horrifying reveal that Zekia is helping
the Kingpin of her own free will, Tavia, Saxony, and Karam flee to
Saxony's home to rebuild their rebellion. Meanwhile, trapped in the
Kingpin's darkness, Wesley must fight against the deadly magic that
invades his mind and find a way back to his friends before it's too
late.
As the Kingpin's dark magic spreads and his army conquers Creije, these
four unlikely friends have to decide just how far they'll go - and how
much they are willing to sacrifice - to win.
Praise for Into the Crooked Place
"With its gangland details, creative magical caste system and
surprisingly brutal characters, Into the Crooked Place is very much
its own thing. And that thing will likely be a story you can't put
down." (Culturess)
