The City Bleeds Gold

In this twist-filled fantasy adventure set in the world of Take Back the Skies and The Almost King, a young man must choose between two faces: dangerous master of shadows or beloved of the future queen.

Noah is the finest mask-maker in all of Erova. He is responsible and loyal, and has won the heart and hand of the future queen.

Daniel is dangerous and daring. Infamous. He prowls the filthy rooftops of the maze-like lower city in search of secrets and crime. Its people, hungry and forgotten, have come to need him.

Noah and Daniel are the same person, and Daniel’s life is beginning to tangle with Noah’s, ensnaring the people he loves in a complex web of deception and heartbreak that will become deadly unless Noah can decide once and for all who he really wants to be.

This absolutely cracking debut novel from Lucy Saxon … is a delicious cocktail incorporating steampunk, His Dark Materials and George Orwell … About as good a YA adventure as you’ll see all year (SFX on Take Back the Skies)

A fab fantasy debut from an exciting young author (Company on Take Back the Skies)
