The sensational follow-up to Monstrous Heart; a magical tale of intrigue on dark waters and a love story for the ages. The perfect gothic, gaslamp fantasy β ideal for fans of V.E. Schwab and China Mieville.
Since losing her great love to the Queen of the Sainted Isles, Arden must fulfil an impossible promise before she can return home β she must complete the dangerous Rite that will return Jonahβs spirit to the abyssal Court of the Deepwater King.
This sets her off on a journey far out at sea to find believers of the old religion on the oil-slick and mysterious islands beyond the horizon. But such a responsibility will not come without sacrifice, for the Deepwater folk who worship the King require the most desperate payments of the soul, and with one man, Arden may have to pay the greatest price of allβ¦
Astonishingly original, with world-building to rival the depths of the ocean, McKenna has drawn a rich tale of longing and courage β penning the perfect oceanic steampunk fantasy.
