"The world is coming apart at the seams in this impressive fantasy from Shinn. Once separate, the lands of the continent were bound together by the god Cordelan, so that the bounties of each would benefit the others. United, they have flourished—but they hold a dark secret . . . Throughout, Shinn balances vivid worldbuilding, captivating characters, and a fascinating mystery. Readers won’t want to put this down."
