The Devourer's Sonata

Danika Sarkovski was born an outcast and an heiress, a Gloamblood monster hunter who walked away from her aristocratic bloodline. When her estranged father, Professor Cassian Struchmeyer, vanishes chasing a legendary musical tome, the Lamentata Nihilith, Danika is tasked with finding both the man who abandoned her family and the artifact whose song may unmake kingdoms.She journeys with Elira Dimitriou, a sharp-tongued librarian and devoted student of Professor Struchmeyer whose magic eats her memories one spell at a time. In drowned ports and unhallowed markets, amid brain-sucking cephalopodian pirates and revenants guarding ancient tombs and temples, Danika must decide what she is willing to feed-her hunger, her grief, or the fragile trust growing between Elira and herself.Because somewhere beyond the floating cities, snow-covered wastes, and crystal deserts, a man with a harp made of humanoid bones tunes the Devourer's Sonata-and if he finishes the song, all creation will be fed to the Eternal Maw.
