The epic and spellbinding fifth novel in the New York Times bestselling Bone Season series - from the million-copy bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree.

"This series is the best . . . Paige Mahoney has my whole heart . . . Nobody writes like Samantha Shannon!" -Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of An Ember in the Ashes series

Everything is about to change.

Paige Mahoney is outside the Republic of Scion for the first time in more than a decade - but she has no idea how she got to the free world. Half a year has been wiped from her memory.

Her journey back to the revolution takes her to Venice, where the Domino Programme has uncovered evidence of a secret Scion plan. Before Paige can return to London, she must help the network unravel the sinister Operation Ventriloquist, which threatens to bring Europe to its knees in weeks.

And it soon becomes clear that the one person who could recover her memories - Arcturus Mesarthim - might also hold the key to thwarting Scion, allowing the revolution to strike an unprecedented blow . . .

With its intricate worldbuilding, slow burn romance, and "complex, ever evolving, scrappy yet touching" (NPR) heroine, the Bone Season series shows Samantha Shannon at the height of her considerable powers.
