About this ebook

From the author of The Bone Witch, the thrilling sequel to The Never Tilting World spins elemental magic, fierce sisterhood, and vast, incredible landscapes into a YA fantasy epic perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sabaa Tahir. 

After a treacherous journey and a life-shattering introduction to a twin neither knew she had, sisters Haidee and Odessa expected to emerge from the Great Abyss to a world set right. But though the planet is turning once again, the creatures of the abyss refuse to rest without another goddess’s sacrifice. 

To break the cycle, Haidee and Odessa need answers that lie beyond the seven gates of the underworld, within the Cruel Kingdom itself. The shadows of the underworld may hunger to tear them apart, but these two sisters are determined to heal their world—together.


But what awaits the twin goddesses in the Cruel Kingdom, and can their newfound bond survive the secrets they uncover?


  • Two Sisters, One Prophecy: Newly reunited twins Haidee and Odessa must journey into the underworld to break a divine curse, but the answers they find could tear them apart forever.
  • A World Divided: Explore a planet split between eternal day and endless night, where two powerful goddesses must master their magic to heal a broken world.
  • High-Stakes Romantic Fantasy: Amidst the epic quest, two slow-burn romances blossom between queens and their protectors, tested by loyalty, duty, and the end of the world.
  • Gods & Monsters: To appease the creatures of the Abyss, another sacrifice is required. The sisters must face the secrets of the gods themselves to break the cycle for good.
