About this audiobook

Celeste, a card sharp with a need for justice, takes on the role of advocatus diaboli, to defend her sister Mariel, accused of murdering a Virtue, a member of the ruling class of this mining town, in an “intricate…engrossing” (The Washington Post) new world of dark fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of Black Sun, Rebecca Roanhorse.

The year is 1883 and the mining town of Goetia is booming as prospectors from near and far come to mine the powerful new element Divinity from the high mountains of Colorado with the help of the pariahs of society known as the Fallen. The Fallen are the descendants of demonkind living amongst the Virtues, the winners in an ancient war, with the descendants of both sides choosing to live alongside Abaddon’s mountain in this tale of the mythological West from the bestselling mastermind Rebecca Roanhorse.

Editor's Note

Historical western fantasy…

Lauded for her worldbuilding by Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and The Washington Post, Roanhorse (author of the Between Earth and Sky series) pens a historical western fantasy with biblical ties. In a small mining town set in present-day Colorado, Elects look down upon the Fallen, who are descendants of demons. Celeste Semyaza, half-Elect and half-Fallen, must clear her sister’s name after she’s accused of murder.

    While there were some stand out moments and a killer ending, I can’t tell you what happened in at least 60% of this. I wasn’t actively paying attention and that’s okay! I’ll give it another try later.

    This was a slight detour from what I've been reading. And I liked it. It gave me Wynonna Earp vibes.
