Age range 12+

The chimera of the city are on the hunt.

After years of being individually slaughtered, they have come together to make war on Pandora and her people.

In the conclusion to The Burning Days, the sins of the past will be revealed, and all hope for the future will be under attack.

City Knife is an aching testament to the meaning of being human in burning times. In this novel, hope is both fragile and enduring, and the characters continue to seek connection and work for the good of their world, even when the challenges seem insurmountable. This is a song for the future and a flat-out beautiful read." - Amy T. Matthews, bestselling author of Someone Else's Bucket List

"Hennessy is a master of thrills, keeping your heart pumping in every chapter." - Shaye Wardrop, Kids' Book Review (on Mountain Arrow).
