Two sisters become trapped in the underworld--and in the machinations of deities, shapeshifters, and ghouls--in this lush and dangerous Phoenician mythology-inspired fantasy.
Sixteen-year-old sisters Samira and Rima aren't exactly living the dream.
Instead, they live with their maddeningly unreliable mother in a rundown
trailer in Michigan. Dad's dead, money's tight, and Mom disappears for days at
a time. So when Sam's grandfather wills her the family valuables--a cache of
Lebanese antiquities--she's desperate enough to try pawning them before Mom
can.
But she shouldn't. Because one is cursed, forbidden, the burial coin of a
forgotten god. Disturbing it condemns her and Rima to the Phoenician
underworld, a place of wicked cities, burning cedar forests, poisoned feasts of
milk and lemons, and an endless, windless ocean.
Nothing is what it seems. No one is who they say. And down here, the night
never ends.
To get home--and keep her sister safe--Sam will have to outwit beautiful
shapeshifters, pose as a royal bride, sail the darkest sea... and maybe kill
the god of death himself.
