Play With Fire - Valerie Broussard (Cover)
This one is easily the book trailer song, the opening scenes of the train running over the Rim like a black ribbon, an overture of everything to come. This arrangement and Valerie Broussard’s vocals bring a haunting atmosphere that really captures the violence of the Rim and the Revere women’s determination to survive at any cost.
Meet Me In the Woods, Lord Huron
The first expedition in SAOS went out to the West Rim and came back changed. Something dark crept in and nobody (especially Kane) is the person that they were before. Honestly, the entire series could be set to Lord Huron songs. I listened to them on heavy repeat during writing Solace by Fire.
Way Out There - Lord Huron
This has always been Adelaide’s song. A wanderer, a seeker, a body bound to the earth without a home, and above all a deeply misunderstood woman. Listen when she’s staring out at the West Rim, the Stranger ticking inside her skin. Listen to the end. She knows she has to go, but doesn’t know what her destination is. Or if she’ll ever be back.
Ace Up My Sleeve - Lord Huron
This one is for Tess. The line “I can’t lose, there’s an ace up my sleeve” is so her, both heartbreaking and unflinching. I’d listen to it around Solace By Fire’s halfway point, and then again toward the last quarter. It will hit differently.
Empire Now - Hozier
The song of the railroad expansion, patriarchy and progress, and the Revere’s fight to not be crushed by them. An anthem for the culmination of their long con, that one day they might live in a better world than the one they are in now. “Sun coming up on a dream come round. 100 years from the empire now.” Plus, the intro sounds very western. I feel the dust roll when this starts to play.
Revere Trilogy #3
All things end.
Adelaide has only ever wanted one thing: to wander. Deeper in the West Rim than ever before, her second shadow, the Stranger grows more restless, more bloodthirsty, more real.
Tesla's work to build a place in the changing world for herself and other women like them will finally succeed or collapse under the boot-heel of progress like the Tov Shadow Nation once did.
The man who nearly destroyed them two Seasons ago and the threat of the pestilence aren't their only remaining foes. A mysterious evil haunts the stormy canyons of the West Rim. The Revere women will need each other, or die.
