Roseanne A. Brown

Gebundenes Buch

A Psalm of Storms and Silence

Beschreibung

The highly anticipated second-and final-book in the
immersive fantasy duology inspired by West African folklore that began with the
New York Times bestselling A Song of Wraiths and Ruin, from
author Roseanne A. Brown. Perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Renée Ahdieh, and
Sabaa Tahir.

Karina lost everything after a violent coup left her without
her kingdom or her throne. Now the most wanted person in Sonande, her only hope
of reclaiming what is rightfully hers lies in a divine power hidden in the
long-lost city of her ancestors.

Meanwhile, the resurrection of Karina's sister has spiraled the world into
chaos, with disaster after disaster threatening the hard-won peace Malik has
found as Farid's apprentice. When they discover that Karina herself is the key
to restoring balance, Malik must use his magic to lure her back to their side.
But how do you regain the trust of someone you once tried to kill?

As the fabric holding Sonande together begins to tear, Malik and Karina once
again find themselves torn between their duties and their desires. And when the
fate of everything hangs on a single, horrifying choice, they each must decide
what they value most-a power that could transform the world, or a love that
could transform their lives.

"This epic story is brimming with trickster spirits, rich culture, and an organically developing romance that make every twist and turn more interesting than the last....Brown's novel will easily fit on shelves next to other great West African-inspired fantasies like Adeyemi's Children of Blood and Bone and Ifueko's Raybearer, and the ending makes it apparent that Malik and Karina's story has (thankfully) only just begun." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
