    About this audiobook

    From the author of The Bone Witch, the thrilling sequel to The Never Tilting World spins elemental magic, fierce sisterhood, and vast, incredible landscapes into a YA fantasy epic perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sabaa Tahir. 

    After a treacherous journey and a life-shattering introduction to a twin neither knew she had, sisters Haidee and Odessa expected to emerge from the Great Abyss to a world set right. But though the planet is turning once again, the creatures of the abyss refuse to rest without another goddess’s sacrifice. 

    To break the cycle, Haidee and Odessa need answers that lie beyond the seven gates of the underworld, within the Cruel Kingdom itself. The shadows of the underworld may hunger to tear them apart, but these two sisters are determined to heal their world—together.

    Editor's Note

    Timely and touching…

    In this sequel to “The Never Tilting World,” sisters Haidee and Odessa must venture into the underworld, where creatures are determined to tear them apart and keep the world in its current chaotic state. But these twins literally made the world start spinning again, and they won’t back down without a fierce fight. A timely and touching YA fantasy.
