intrigue on dark waters and a love story for the ages.
The perfect gothic, gaslamp fantasy - ideal for fans of V.E. Schwab
and China Mieville
Arden Beacon has nothing left to lose.
Having fought monsters, the deep waters and the establishment to fulfil
a promise the man she loved - she is no closer to peace. But against the
odds, she has found Jonah once more and they are together now. She means
to keep it that way.
Jonah, Arden and Chalice are bound for Clay city. Warnings come that the
scorned yet powerful Miah and Bellis have joined forces and turned their
eyes to the capital, now following the direction of the slippery Mr
Lindsay. Wanton destruction and death will surely follow if they cannot
be distracted, tricked and stopped.
All the while, the coins sewn into Arden's hands continue to poison her.
Time is running out. With intrigue and beasts behind every wave, Jonah
and Arden must face this final chapter together - or risk losing
everything.
Astonishingly original, with world-building to rival the depths of the
ocean, McKenna has drawn a world drenched in sea-salt and lit by the
flickering light of gas lamps. Rich tale of longing and courage this is
the perfect oceanic steampunk fantasy.
