THE TIKTOK SENSATION FROM THE UK HAS COME TO NORTH AMERICA!

“Magical, murderous, romantic romp through a fantasy world as colorful as it is captivating.” Thea Guanzon, New York Times bestselling author of THE HURRICANE WARS

A mind-blowing murder mystery on a ship full of magical passengers. If Agatha Christie wrote fantasy, this would be it!

For a thousand years, Concordia has maintained peace between its provinces. To mark this incredible feat, the emperor’s ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage to the sacred Goddess’s Mountain. Aboard are the twelve heirs of the provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing.

All except one: Ganymedes Piscero—class clown, slacker and all-around disappointment.

When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people and without a Blessing to protect him, Ganymedes’s odds of survival are slim.

But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be. Can he unmask the killer and their secret Blessing before this bloody crusade reaches the shores of Concordia?

Or will the empire as he knows it fall?

Twists and turns and I didn’t see that coming

Absolutely not what I expected. Part mystery, part self discovery; alternate funny and heartbreaking. I don’t think I’ve read anything quite like this before. So many twists and unexpected revelations, some I guessed correctly; others I got completely wrong. I will be thinking about this for a while yet.

This is YA

This is young adult fantasy. If that’s what you’re into, great, but that’s not how it’s marketed

diverse themes

Diverse themes presented in an engaging and unexpected way. Enjoyable characters- leaves you wondering what happens to them in the future.

A Wickedly delightful tale 🐠

I loved this book from chapter one. It was nothing like anything I’ve read before, and I eat books for breakfast.
This writer has the best sense of humor, Her descriptions had me laughing out loud constantly, and I’ve already recommended this book to at least a handful of people since finishing it this morning. I’m not sure a book has made me feel that good in a long time. What a treat! Oh, and I did NOT see that twist coming btw… it’s a for sure re-read for me !

Excellent main character, great world-building

This checks all my boxes and then some…such a satisfying read, and the narration is fab.
