Idolfire by Grace Curtis

the Sunday Times bestselling epic sapphic fantasy

'Charming and insightful, tender yet honest' C.L. CLARK

One curse. Two destinies.

A thousand stolen gods.

ON ONE SIDE OF THE WORLD, Aleya Ana-Ulai is desperate for a chance. Her family have written her off as a mistake, but she's determined to prove every last one of them wrong.

ON THE OTHER, Kirby of Wall's End is searching for redemption. An ancient curse tore her life apart, but to fix it, she'll have to leave everything behind. Fate sets them both on the path to Nivela, a city once poised to conquer the world with the power of a thousand stolen gods.

Now the gates are closed and the old magic slumbers. Dead - or waiting for a spark to light it anew . . .

Two women embark on an epic journey in this Sunday Times bestselling sapphic fantasy with a slow-burn romance inspired by the fall of Rome, from the author of the Frontier and Floating Hotel.
