About THE QUEEN OF DAYS
From Greta Kelly, the author of the Warrior Witch duology, comes\\xa0The Queen of Days, an epic adventure that weaves together a flawed-but-lovable family of thieves, a battle between fallen gods, and stakes high enough to cause vertigo\\u2014perfect for fans of\\xa0The Lies of Locke Lamora\\xa0and\\xa0Six of Crows.
For Balthazar and his family of thieves, stealing a statue during the annual celebration of the god Karanis was just a good bit of fun\\u2026or a way to stick it to the governor who murdered his parents. And yeah, the small fortune in reward doesn\\u2019t hurt\\u2014even if his boss also hired the mysterious Queen of Days to join the crew as \\u201cthe weapon of last resort\\u2026\\u201d
Whatever that means.
But Bal doesn\\u2019t know the ceremony isn\\u2019t simply empty words and dusty tradition; it\\u2019s true magic. The kind of magic that rips open a portal for the god himself. Only the idol that Karanis planned on using for a body now lies broken at the Queen of Days\\u2019 feet. And half of it is missing.
With the aid of a lovable brawler, a society lady turned bomb maker, a disgraced soldier, and a time-eating demon, Bal must hunt down the missing half of the statue if he has any hope of earning his money, keeping his crew alive\\u2026and perhaps even saving all of humanity. But as his journey sends him racing through the city\\u2014and across realities\\u2014he discovers that doing all this might just doom the city.
The city be damned. It\\u2019s time to kill a god.
