Description
In the long-awaited follow-up to her brilliant debut, C. M. Alongi takes us back to Edalide in Demons’ Nest, an intense and thrilling adventure perfect for fans of The City in the Middle of the Night and The Space Between Worlds.
The world Olivia knew has changed completely. After discovering that the deadly “demons” of the planet Edalide were actually the sentient chimera species, upending centuries of doctrine, Olivia left the human city of Citadel.
Together with her best friend Riley, her father Ormus, and a few other humans, they work to create peace with the chimera. But trust and change come slowly, and tensions mount as sabotage threatens their new home. Along with a desperate race for survival before the coming winter, Olivia must find a way forward between hatred and optimism, fear and love.
And as she realizes her growing feelings for her best friend, Riley himself is targeted by the governor of Citadel, his own father, who prepares for all-out war on the small colony. With the fate of the planet resting on their shoulders, can they forge a new future for both species?
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
Praise for Citadel:
“Alongi’s entertaining debut matches familiar SF tropes with strong characters and fascinating worldbuilding…Readers who grew up on Cressida Cowell and Patricia C. Wrede will be especially delighted.” - Publishers Weekly
“Refreshing…Citadel is a worthy addition to the alien-world canon, but also a glorious primer on forming alliances to resist tyranny.” - Charlie Jane Anders, internationally bestselling author, for the Washington Post
“Alongi’s debut brilliantly raises the profile of the vibrant inner world of a neurodivergent character while never losing sight of the disastrous effects of religious terrorism. This combination makes for a story impossible to put down" - Booklist
