About this audiobook
Ravenna has lived long enough to watch cities vanish, civilizations shrink, and ordinary people turn yesterday’s saviors into tomorrow’s monsters. She is an immortal saint, a winged hunter built to destroy creatures that threaten the scattered settlements surviving in the Last Dusk. She has also been called a monster often enough to know the word says more about fear than morality. Camellia is something worse: an ancient High Nemesis with the power to control Ravenna from inside her own mind. Their history is violent, bitter, and impossible to simplify. When circumstances bind them together again, Camellia offers Ravenna a bargain. Take her to the physical edge of the world, the place where existence itself is disappearing, and she will finally let Ravenna go. The journey carries them through ruined cities, strange machines, primeval beasts, failing magic, half-forgotten saints, and communities adapting to a world that may be ending one piece at a time. Along the way, hatred begins sharing space with something more intimate and far more unsettling. The Saint Beneath the Dying Bloom is a dark literary fantasy filled with immortal enemies, post-apocalyptic wonder, eldritch magic, monster hunting, black humor, morally complicated companionship, decaying civilizations, and a volatile bond that refuses to fit neatly into love or hatred. For readers who enjoy strange, character-driven fantasy with queer tension, philosophical stakes, surreal worldbuilding, and two dangerous immortals traveling toward the end of everything together.
