Magic! Murder! Shipboard romance!

Magic, mystery, and romance collide in A Restless Truth, the much anticipated sequel to A Marvellous Light. Author Freya Marske describes her new novel as: “Lesbian KNIVES OUT On A Boat! If you think Robin has a knack for attracting trouble, may I introduce… his sister.” A Restless Truth will be available on November 1st, 2022 from Tordotcom Publishing.

Magic! Murder! Shipboard romance! The second entry in Freya Marske’s beloved The Last Binding trilogy, the queer historical fantasy series that began with A Marvellous Light

The most interesting things in Maud Blyth’s life have happened to her brother Robin, but she’s ready to join any cause, especially if it involves magical secrets that may threaten the whole of the British Isles. Bound for New York on the R.M.S. Lyric, she’s ready for an adventure.

What she actually finds is a dead body, a disrespectful parrot, and a beautiful stranger in Violet Debenham, who is everything—a magician, an actress, a scandal—Maud has been trained to fear and has learned to desire. Surrounded by the open sea and a ship full of loathsome, aristocratic suspects, they must solve a murder and untangle a conspiracy that began generations before them.
