Icarus Fell

In this riveting companion to Vesuvius, Felix and Loren move to Rome for a fresh start but come face-to-face with ghosts of the past that threaten to destroy the life they’ve been working to build.

This exclusive First Edition hardcover features a luminous foiled jacket, stunning night and day illustrated endpapers, and hidden case art.

Following the explosive adventures of Vesuvius, you can expect more magic, more action, and more angst in Icarus Fell! Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and C.S. Pacat’s bestselling Dark Heir series.

Struggling with survivor’s guilt after the devastating eruption at Pompeii, Loren has shut out his prophetic dreams to focus on proving he can do tangible good for Rome as a senator’s assistant. But the sudden arrival of an old friend throws Loren into a vision where he encounters another familiar face—the ghost of Felix’s traumatic memories—who delivers a deadly ultimatum.

Meanwhile, curiosity about his missing memories leads Felix to the Temple of Mercury, where he discovers a figure from his past who should be dead. They might be the key to finally granting Felix his memories back and unlocking his divine powers, if only Felix can prove himself worthy.

With the completion of the new Colosseum looming and no psychopomp in Rome to handle the deaths it promises to bring, the veil between the spirit world and the living threatens to burst. As the walls of the arena close in, Felix and Loren must confront their trauma before the veil between life and death is torn—even if saving each other will rip them apart.
