I Drowned the Queen

Six of Crows meets Ocean's 11—with beasts, murder, and magic—in the second book in this thrilling and genre-bending fantasy duology by acclaimed author Andrea Hannah and New York Times bestseller Rebecca Mix.

​

With the curse broken and the gods dead and buried, Clove, Ellion, Kellam, Oak, and Melarie plan to put the past behind them—separately. But when word spreads that the newly crowned queen of Istellia has drowned under mysterious circumstances and all signs point to a fringe cult dedicated to the Weaver, the five find themselves back together due to another royal murder. ​

The timing couldn’t be more urgent: the cultists have opened Sainte-Lys’ ports for the famed Fête des Dieux Endormis—a multi-day, lavish festival celebrating the goddess of fate on her secluded island—and they plan to use the queen’s death to gather enough support to wake the Weaver. With magic gone awry and the rumblings of furious, reanimated gods, the five must enlist the help of the most unpredictable god of them all to steal the Weaver’s spindle and unravel the threads of fate to put the world back in order once again. But as they each realize that they can untie a knot in their own fate— a repair for Kellam’s broken magic, a family for Oak, a release from Ellion’s twisted power, security for Clove and her beasts, and freedom at last for Melarie—trust will be broken, truths will be concealed, and the fate of the gods hangs in the balance.
