Rebecca Thorne: This Gilded Abyss, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

'Lesbians versus zombies on a steam-punk Titanic . . . seriously addictive, dark, and bitingly well-written' - Grimdark Magazine

From the Sunday Times bestselling author Rebecca Thorne, This Gilded Abyss is an intense, utterly thrilling science fiction adventure for fans of Arcane , BioShock and Tamsyn Muir's The Locked Tomb.

Death waits beneath the waves as two estranged lovers f ace their demons . . .

Sergeant Nix Marr left her dark past buried beneath the sea. Then Kessandra, the people's favourite princess (and Nix's much-loathed ex), recruits Nix for a covert mission. Their goal - to investigate a massacre in the under-water city of Fall. Nix tries to refuse, but finds herself boarding a luxurious submersible as Kessandra's bodyguard. After all, Kess always gets what she wants.

As they descend to the city, Kessandra reveals the chilling truth. They aren't investigating a massacre, but the trigger that caused it - a sickness that turns victims into mindless killers. And when a royal passenger is murdered, it's clear the infection is on board . . . and no one on the submersible is safe.

Trusting Kessandra, despite her lies, will become Nix's only hope.
