City of Spells

City of Spells by Alexandra Christo digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

City of Spells, the follow-up to Alexandra Christo's gritty YA fantasy, Into the Crooked Place, finds the world on the brink of war and four unlikely allies facing sacrifices they had never imagined.

After the loss of Wesley and the horrifying reveal that Zekia is helping the Kingpin of her own free will, Tavia, Saxony, and Karam flee to Saxony's home to rebuild their rebellion. Meanwhile, trapped in the Kingpin's darkness, Wesley must fight against the deadly magic that invades his mind and find a way back to his friends before it's too late.

As the Kingpin's dark magic spreads and his army conquers Creije, these four unlikely friends have to decide just how far they’ll go—and how much they are willing to sacrifice—to win.

Praise for Into the Crooked Place:

"With its gangland details, creative magical caste system and surprisingly brutal characters, Into the Crooked Place is very much its own thing. And that thing will likely be a story you can’t put down." —Culturess

City of Spells Reviews

3.5
Loudly Crying Face“Ok, if this is marketed as a YA Duolingo that would be somewhat incorrect. This book and its sibling are dark and heavy in a way that could be relatable to a young person but hit way harder as an adult. I really enjoyed how I wasn’t quite sure which character was going to die until it happened (or didn’t happen…). Christo did a great job of playing with your hope and dread throughout.”
