Praise for What Wakes the Bells:
"Set in a sentient city built upon the bones of a dead god,
What Wakes the Bells is
a wonderful exploration of complex family dynamics, self-determination, and first love, all set against the backdrop of an ancient battle generations in the making." --Kalyn Josephson,
New York Times-bestselling author of
This Dark Descent and
The Storm Crow "An
action-packed debut about duty and divinity, with layered family dynamics, a lovers-to-enemies romance to sink your teeth into, and a setting so vivid, you can feel the cold--and the toll of the Vesper Bells--in your bones.
Moody, fun, and wholly original." --Allison Saft,
New York Times-bestselling author of
A Fragile Enchantment "An
utterly fresh tale you'll want to read over and over again,
What Wakes the Bells stuns from the first page to the last, reverberating through your heart like a vesper bell--without the doom, of course. Mina is the demisexual heroine of my dreams, whose love--for her family and friends, for her duty and her heart--creates its own powerful, world-shaking magic." --Kamilah Cole, bestselling author of

A stunningly atmospheric debut that is both
