A talented heretic and the emperor she both loathes and loves will learn what monsters are really made of in the second installment of the Moon Heresies trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Tessa Gratton.

Iriset--prodigy, outlaw, now sunderer--has broken the Moon-Eater god's prison at the heart of the empire. But the consequences of her actions land her in a city of monsters where the heretical magic of human architecture is freely practiced, and the only person she knows--and can trust--is Lyric, the emperor she's lied to and loved in equal measure.

As scheming kings and capricious gods drive them towards different extremes, they soon realize that to find their way home, they must remake the world ... at the risk of breaking it forever.

Praise for the Moon Heresies trilogy:

"A beautiful, elegant, passionate novel. A triumph and a delight from start to finish." --Antonia Hodgson, author of The Raven Scholar

"Sensual and suspenseful." --Publishers Weekly

"A lush story of dangerous intrigue in an intricate and utterly unique world." --C. S. Pacat, author of Captive Prince
