Publisher Description
The stunning third book in the sexy, action-packed Crescent City series, following the global bestsellers House of Earth and Blood and House of Sky and Breath.
Bryce Quinlan never expected to see a world other than Midgard, but now that she has, all she wants is to get back. Everything she loves is in Midgard: her family, her friends, her mate. Stranded in a strange new world, she's going to need all her wits about her to get home again. And that's no easy feat when she has no idea who to trust.
Hunt Athalar has found himself in some deep holes in his life, but this one might be the deepest of all. After a few brief months with everything he ever wanted, he's in the Asteri's dungeons again, stripped of his freedom and without a clue as to Bryce's fate. He's desperate to help her, but until he can escape the Asteri's leash, his hands are quite literally tied.
In this sexy, breathtaking sequel to the #1 bestsellers House of Earth and Blood and House of Sky and Breath, Sarah J. Maas's Crescent City series reaches new heights as Bryce and Hunt's world is brought to the brink of collapse-with its future resting on their shoulders.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Bang-up action and satisfyingly intense romantic fantasy drive the third instalment of Sarah J. Maas’s thrilling (and sexy!) Crescent City series. (Honestly, if you haven’t read the first two, start with them first.) Half-Fae, half-human, entirely formidable Bryce Quinlan is on a mission: save her planet of Midgard from its cruel colonizers, the Asteri, and in the process discover her true power and inheritance. She and her fearless partner, Hunt Athalar, are on an all-or-nothing hunt for strategies, weapons, and allies. And they find all of them—as well as some new enemies—in the strangest of places. (Fans of Maas’ Court of Thorns and Roses series will recognize some names!) Maas does an incredible job of building out the world in a complex and delightful way. Midgard is home to many different species like shape-shifters, water dwellers, angels, and even the dead, all of which have their own hierarchies and social idiosyncrasies. It’s a tribute to Maas’ remarkable skill that even with so many characters, twists, and plotlines, House of Flame and Shadow almost feels short at just over 800 pages.
