"The second installment in Namina Forna’s West African-inspired fantasy series, this follow-up to The Gilded Ones doubles down on what made its predecessor so good: The rich, thoroughly lived-in world building full of details that are so unlike almost everything else in this genre space." Paste

"The invention and the tension never flag - an outstanding second book." Ben Aaronovitch, author of Rivers of London series
