Witches Steeped in Gold

Ciannon Smart

This Jamaican-inspired fantasy debut about two enemy witches who must enter into a deadly alliance to take down a common enemy has the twisted cat-and-mouse of Killing Eve with the richly imagined fantasy world of Furyborn and Ember in the Ashes.

Divided by their order. United by their vengeance.

Iraya has spent her life in a cell, but every day brings her closer to freedom--and vengeance.

Jazmyne is the Queen's daughter, but unlike her sister before her, she has no intention of dying to strengthen her mother's power.

Sworn enemies, these two witches enter a precarious alliance to take down a mutual threat. But power is intoxicating, revenge is a bloody pursuit, and nothing is certain--except the lengths they will go to win this game.

"A thundering waterfall of magic, vengeance and intrigue." --Samantha Shannon, New York Times & Sunday Times bestselling author of The Priory of the Orange Tree and The Bone Season.

About the Author

Smart, Ciannon: -

Ciannon Smart lives neither here nor there and writes stories about similar places. Convinced the Bad Guys have received an unfair edit, she's dedicated her middle grade career to straightening this up. In the Night Things universe, her characters can be found defeating the Really Bad Guys. Usually with awesome weapons. Always with brilliant humor. Humility too. Now, these villains aren't to be confused with the Really, Really Bad Guys she writes about in her young adult stories, Witches Steeped in Gold and Empress Crowned in Red. When not fighting all caliber of villain, Ciannon Smart sleeps, because defeating evil is an exhausting superpower. You can learn more about her at ciannonsmart.com.
