She knows her brother, Von, will be an excellent king, and she'd rather devote her time to the Goddess, faithfully using her magic to send deceased spirits from the holy lake to the Afterworld. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen the unthinkable happens and her brother is murdered, she is certain their rival kingdom, Nova, is to blame. After all, they worship a false deity and use their magic to toy with necromancy. But when the Goddess halts the investigation of Von's death, Merridan takes matters into her own hands, performing a forbidden Novian ritual to attempt to speak to her brother's ghost. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe last thing Merridan expects is to raise the wrong ghost. Now she's bound to Phoenix Darragon, the arrogant crown prince of Nova--who was murdered the same night as Von. The prince makes Merridan a deal: if she takes his spirit to Nova to be resurrected, he will help her find her brother's killer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut uncovering the truth about the murderer means discovering Phoenix's secrets, too. As the attraction between Merridan and the prince becomes undeniable and the threat of war builds, she must decide whether finding the truth is worth its cost if it means her beloved relationship with the Goddess is changed forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Random House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.08oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798217240104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2026 pg. 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexandra Kennington\u003c\/b\u003e writes adult and young adult fantasy and science fiction novels.
