The exhilarating, genre-bending sequel to the sensational New York Times bestseller City of Dark Magic
“If you’re looking for a time-travel mystery with laughs, danger, and a
romantic interest clad in lederhosen (and who isn’t?), look no further.” — People (4 Stars)
In this action-packed sequel to City of Dark Magic, we find musicologist Sarah Weston in Vienna in search of a cure for her friend Pollina, who is now gravely ill and who may not have much time
left. Meanwhile, Nicolas Pertusato, in London in search of an ancient
alchemical cure for the girl, discovers an old enemy is one step ahead
of him. In Prague, Prince Max tries to unravel the strange reappearance
of a long dead saint while being pursued by a seductive red-headed
historian with dark motives of her own.
In the city of
Beethoven, Mozart, and Freud, Sarah becomes the target in a deadly web
of intrigue that involves a scientist on the run, stolen art, seductive
pastries, a few surprises from long-dead alchemists, a distractingly
attractive horseman who’s more than a little bloodthirsty, and a trail
of secrets and lies. But nothing will be more dangerous than the
brilliant and vindictive villain who seeks to bend time itself. Sarah
must travel deep into an ancient mystery to save the people she loves.
