Ninth House meets The Hazel Wood in this “richly written” (Booklist, starred review) sequel to the New York Times bestselling dark academia fantasy Curious Tides, following Emory, Baz, Romie, and Kai on their desperate quests through worlds and time!

Opening locked doors has a price—even for those who hold a key.

After going through the door that called to them both in dreams, Emory and Romie find themselves in the Wychwood: the same verdant world written of in Song of the Drowned Gods, albeit a twisted, rotting version of it. A sinister force has awoken with their arrival, intent on destruction as it spills across realms, and now Emory and Romie must stop it before it reaches their own shores.

Meanwhile, Baz and Kai are desperate to follow their friends through the door to other worlds, but a mishap pulls them back in time instead—where they come face to face with Cornus Clover himself, famed author of Song of the Drowned Gods. Stuck together in the past, they must navigate a very different Aldryn as they unravel the school’s darkest secrets.

Across time and worlds, Emory, Romie, Baz, and Kai find their fates eerily interwoven with the heroes from Clover’s book. But when stories can’t be trusted, friendships are put to the test, and deadly enemies are not always as they seem, they must decide who gets to be a hero—and who is desperate enough to see themselves become a villain.

Couldn’t have asked for a better sequel

I couldn’t put it down, listened to the whole thing in one day. Can’t wait to see the next part.

Blew my socks off

I mean...whatever you think this book is...it isn't. Truly. The layers and complexity were wonderful. Such a nuanced and intriguing story. I cannot wait for the rest!

Amazing

I read the books first before listening to the audiobooks and I think they’ve done a good job at capturing their voices

Yes!

Even if the first book wasn’t excellent, it would be worth reading to experience this second installment of the story.

As expected not the end

Overall a good continuation of the storyline. Seems mostly trying to define who or what is the villain. List seems to get longer you read on but I think the storyline is narrowing who is the biggest and badest and also showing we all have a little villain in us.
