Grace Curtis for Idolfire

"You will turn every page hoping for one hundred more."~ Hannah Kaner, Sunday Times bestselling author of GODKILLER

Grace Curtis' debut Frontier, a queer space western about climate change (really) and the follow-up Floating Hotel were bestsellers and became bookseller favourites. She joins us for Idolfire, an epic sapphic fantasy inspired by the fall of Rome...

ON ONE SIDE OF THE WORLD, Aleya Ana-Ulai is desperate for a chance. Her family have written her off as a mistake, but she's determined to prove every last one of them wrong.

ON THE OTHER, Kirby of Wall's End is searching for redemption. An ancient curse tore her life apart, but to fix it, she'll have to leave everything behind.

Fate sets them both on the path to Nivela, a city once poised to conquer the world with the power of a thousand stolen gods. Now the gates are closed and the old magic slumbers. Dead - or waiting for a spark to light it anew . . .
