"Magical, murderous, romantic romp through a fantasy world as colorful as it is captivating." Thea Guanzon, New York Times bestselling author of THE HURRICANE WARS

A mind-blowing murder mystery on a ship full of magical passengers. If Agatha Christie wrote fantasy, this would be it!

For a thousand years, Concordia has maintained peace between its provinces. To mark this incredible feat, the emperor's ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage to the sacred Goddess's Mountain. Aboard are the twelve heirs of the provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing.

All except one: Ganymedes Piscero--class clown, slacker and all-around disappointment.

When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people and without a Blessing to protect him, Ganymedes's odds of survival are slim.

But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be. Can he unmask the killer and their secret Blessing before this bloody crusade reaches the shores of Concordia?

Or will the empire as he knows it fall?

It was interesting. The romance felt rushed but in the end it all made sense. I liked that it was one book but feels like it could have been stretched out to allow for more world building.

this was fun, wholesome, thrilling, emotional, like. Yes, all of that
I loved the characters, i loved the tone of narration, and loved where the story went.

Even tho i did feel betrayed by a certain plot twist/plot point lol

The tone of this feels more like something New adult then adult to me, not saying this book shouldn't be classified as adult because idk, just wanted to say maybe that the tone will indeed not be everyone's taste or expectations :3

I personnally enjoyed this story thoroughly ! I think it deserves more hype, hence my rating even tho i give them rarely <3

Wow! This was such a fun read. It took a bit for me to get into it since it has a completely new concept (at least to me), but after about 1/4 through, I was hooked.

The main character, Dee, was hilarious and relatable. Many of the characters were in different aspects. I laughed so many times and my heart ached for Dee.

There were so many twists that I did not expect, keeping me engaged through the end. The character development was also amazing. This was a great read if you like mystery in a fantasy world!
