WE CHOOSE OUR OWN GODS HERE.

Karys Eska is a deathspeaker, locked into an irrevocable compact with Sabaster, a terrifying eldritch being—three-faced, hundred-winged, unforgiving—who has granted her the ability to communicate with the newly departed. She pays the rent by using her abilities to investigate suspicious deaths around the troubled city she calls home. When a job goes sideways and connects her to a dying stranger with some very dangerous secrets, her entire world is upended.

Ferain is willing to pay a ludicrous sum of money for her help. To save him, Karys inadvertently binds him to her shadow, an act that may doom them both. If they want to survive, they will need to learn to trust each other. Together, they must journey to the heart of a faded empire, all the while haunted by arcane horrors and the unquiet ghosts of their pasts.

And all too soon, Karys knows her debts will come due.

“Immensely enjoyable. Kerstin Hall’s writing is simply awesome.”—Ann Leckie, New York Times bestselling author

Weird fiction and fantasy blended prefectly

The world building in this book was fenomenal. It was able to have a compelling magic system and world history yet still have the otherworldly beings and their logic unknowable. It was also able to make the two major cosmic power factions distinct despite how similar they can be. While I did have some gripes with how side tracking it can be and how unconnectable the main character could be, the story overall was enjoyable.

As soon as you are comfortable, BAM, an event that changes everything

Well done except, Im sure there is about 4 chapters in the middle by another voice actor. Author loves deep storylines and buildups that get foiled by some plot twist every-time. New characters pop up out of the blue which keeps the story interesting. Great world building prose that keeps you wanting more.
