The exhilarating, genre-bending sequel to the sensational
New York Times bestseller City of Dark
Magic
“Set in a world where alchemy,
magic, and science all work, [City of Lost Dreams is]
another lively, amusing romantic mystery from the
pseudonymous Flyte. . . . Sensual, witty, and sometimes
laugh-out-loud funny, set forth in sparkling prose, and
inhabited by characters well-worth getting to know.
Wunderbar!”
—Kirkus Reviews
(starred review) In this action-packed sequel to City of Dark Magic,
we find musicologist Sarah Weston in Vienna in search of a
cure for her friend Pollina, who is now gravely ill and who
may not have much time left. Meanwhile, Nicolas Pertusato,
in London in search of an ancient alchemical cure for the
girl, discovers an old enemy is one step ahead of him. In
Prague, Prince Max tries to unravel the strange reappearance
of a long dead saint while being pursued by a seductive
red-headed historian with dark motives of her own. In the city of Beethoven, Mozart, and Freud, Sarah becomes
the target in a deadly web of intrigue that involves a
scientist on the run, stolen art, seductive pastries, a few
surprises from long-dead alchemists, a distractingly
attractive horseman who’s more than a little bloodthirsty,
and a trail of secrets and lies. But nothing will be more
dangerous than the brilliant and vindictive villain who
seeks to bend time itself. Sarah must travel deep into an
ancient mystery to save the people she loves.
