I especially love that Zofia is a neurodivergent-coded character. The prose in this book is beautiful yet also easy to read and so beautifully narrated! Each character is so unique, too. I love the way the real world and the magical world was woven together, the fact that each character was so beautifully crafted and how real the dialogue felt. Let me begin by saying I absolutely adore this book. Thank you NetGalley for the free audio in exchange for an honest review. What they find might change the course of history - but only if they can stay alive.įrom New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi comes a novel set in Paris during a time of extraordinary change - one that is full of mystery, decadence, and dangerous desires.

Together they will join Séverin as he explores the dark, glittering heart of Paris. To hunt down the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin calls upon a band of unlikely experts: an engineer with a debt to pay a historian banished from his home a dancer with a sinister past and a brother in arms if not blood. When the elite, ever-powerful Order of Babel coerces him to help them on a mission, Séverin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance. Here, no one keeps tabs on dark truths better than treasure hunter and wealthy hotelier Séverin Montagnet-Alarie.

The city is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets.
