Description

In a stunning blend of fantasy and mystery, shadows from a devastating celestial war linger in the streets of a decaying Paris, where remnants of once-majestic winged beings roam. Aliette de Bodard crafts a captivating narrative steeped in intrigue as power struggles unfold in the wake of chaos. The aftermath of divine conflict has left its mark on both city and soul, creating an environment where friendships and alliances can easily turn deadly.

Central to the story is a profound sense of loss, both of life and the beauty that once filled the world. Dark secrets intertwined with the tattered remnants of glory provide a haunting backdrop against which the characters must navigate their fractured lives. Each character is drawn into a web of betrayal and desire, driven by motivations that are as complex as the world itself.

As the mystery deepens, the unraveling threads of fate lead to perilous confrontations that challenge loyalties and upend realities. The air is thick with tension, as suspicions mount and danger looms at every turn. Desperation and ambition paint the motivations of both the living and the remnants of the divine, shaping the very fabric of this magical yet perilous realm.

Through rich prose and intricate world-building, the reader is pulled into a narrative that examines the nature of power and sacrifice. The haunting echoes of celestial beings and the consequences of forgotten promises create an atmosphere that is as enchanting as it is chilling. With every twist and turn, the story beckons, inviting readers to uncover the secrets of a world that is as beautiful as it is broken.
