Six of Crows meets Ocean's 11—with beasts, murder, and magic—in the second book in this thrilling and genre-bending fantasy duology by acclaimed author Andrea Hannah and New York Times bestseller Rebecca Mix.

Combining fantasy with the thrills of an action-packed heist novel, this genre-crossing sequel is perfect for readers who love both the multi-POV caper of Six of Crows and the rich world-building of Megan Whalen Turner.

King Costis is dead—and now, Queen Elodie is missing.

It’s been six months since the disastrous events of the Avendell ball. When Istellia’s new queen is kidnapped—and all signs point to the mysterious cult of the Weaver—Melarie, Clove, Kellam, Ellion, and Oak are reunited for another deadly task.

In three days, the Weaver’s magical spindle will appear on her remote island—and the cultists that lurk there will kill Queen Elodie. Now the five—along with an unexpected ally—must pull off the heist of the century: Sneak into the cult’s stronghold, rescue Elodie, and steal the Weaver's spindle—before fate itself unravels.
