The Hollow Crown of Heaven (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781645662396)

Battlestar Galactica meets Bridgerton for fans of Gideon the Ninth in this sharp, genre-bending science fantasy, as a reluctant socialite hellbent on necromancy and a devoted gunslinger with a heart of gold unravel a conspiracy anchored in the foundations of their world.

THE DEAD GOD RISES.

Only men can practice the art of preserving a person's essence in a gem after death, so Soul Minuet, only daughter of the royal ensouler, has had a season of society instead of training. Surrounded by debutantes and heirs dancing and building dynasties, Minuet has concluded she'd sooner die than marry. When a handsome princeling offers to help Minuet learn the magic forbidden to her, she has nothing to lose--until she begins to suspect there's more than caprice behind his favor.

A CIVIL WAR IS COMING.

Gun Mila, the Queen's enforcer, missed the signs before her ruler's death. With twin princes inciting riots in the street, she has only hours to unravel a chain of deceptions, illusions, and murders before she faces her own beloved in the arena, dying or killing to prove who has the right to rule.

Over a single week of revelations, Mila and Minuet will undo centuries of misdirection, discovering a truth so old it's been forgotten--and changing everything about their future.
