The second heart-pounding Greek-myth-inspired romantasy from the author of "Threads That Bind", perfect for fans of Alexandra Bracken's "Lore", Leigh Bardugo's "Six of Crows" and Chloe Gong's "These Violent Delights". It's been five weeks since lo, descendant of the Fates, left the city of Alante to follow the golden threads in search of the god on the otherend. Her investigation takes a turn for the worse when her only lead vanishes, but not before she gathers some crucial clues. Now Lo has a new mystery to solve - sibling disappearances across the Wastelands that seemed to be connected to the murders in Alante. And all signs point to Nanzy, the Golden City, as the centre of the conspiracy. As lo journeys to Nanzy, she makes powerful enemies, finds allies and uncovers a horrifying plot that traces back centuries. The more she learns, the more she suspects that the future of the world rests on her shoulders. But how much of the future is lo's choice, and how much is simply her fate?

In a world where the children of the gods inherit their powers, a descendant of the Greek Fates must solve a series of impossible murders to save her sisters, her soulmate, and her city.

Descendants of the Fates are always born in threes: one to weave, one to draw, and one to cut the threads that connect people to the things they love and to life itself. The Ora sisters are no exception. Io, the youngest, uses her Fate-born abilities as a private investigator in the half-sunken city of Alante.

But her latest job leads her to a horrific discovery: somebody is abducting women, maiming their life-threads, and setting the resulting wraiths loose in the city to kill. To find the culprit, she must work alongside Edei Rhuna, the right hand of the infamous Mob Queen—and the boy with whom she shares a rare fate-thread linking them as soul mates before they’ve even met.

But the investigation turns personal when Io's estranged oldest sister turns up on the arm of her best suspect. Amid unveiled secrets from her past and her growing feelings for Edei, Io must follow clues through the city’s darkest corners and unearth a conspiracy that involves some of the city’s most powerful players—before destruction comes to her own doorstep.
