In the world created centuries ago by the events of Curtis’s Idolfire, Aleya and Kirby’s quest has passed into legend. Scholar Coda “Cod” Canalluny has spent her life and career in a vain search for the truth hidden inside their myth. An urgent wire brings her back home, where her late mentor has left cryptic clues about a historic find along with his mysterious death. Armed with determination and assisted by her suspiciously helpful former lover, Cod uncovers tantalizing hints of hidden secrets and ancient truths, along with old gods and endless power waiting for someone to wield it again. Cod only wants a truth she can publish, but her helpful friend is obsessed with the old power and will kill anyone who stands in her way. Curtis writes a mystery wrapped inside dark academia, surrounded by a fascinating quest, and ringed round with love and obsession on every side. The multiple reveals of Cod’s past, her relationship with Sparrow, her mother’s madness, and her pursuit of world-shattering magic will keep readers guessing with every surprising twist.
VERDICT Highly recommended for fans of Idolfire, as well as those who love fantasy mysteries, mythic retellings, and historical-tinged fantasy.
