Description
From the rancid ruins of the old world, a darker and deadlier one emerges . . .
Death
Destruction
Decay
Redemption
Former rivals Alix and Elliot may have survived the apocalypse, but now they find themselves in a lethal new world where magic has different rules. The only way to survive is to play games of strength and manipulation – and choose between burning hatred and deadly intimacy.
Meanwhile, Taro has forced her way into the Netherworld in a desperate chase for Nixie. But they're not alone. An old enemy haunts them, and Taro and Nixie will need to reckon with the living if they're going to banish the monsters of their past.
Because deep in the glittering new palace, the Drowning Rooms hold a terrifying secret nearly lost to history; if exposed, it could alter not only this world, but the one beyond.
These Hollow Ruins is the second instalment of the gloriously gothic Wyrdos trilogy.

Reviews
-
'These Shattered Spires is a grotesque extravaganza of a book, with a labyrinthine quest and complex, morally grey characters you can't help but root for. I've never had so much fun.' Bea Fitzgerald, author of Girl, Goddess, Queen
-
'Utterly fabulous and darkly imaginative. Complicated, flawed characters shine in a world of grit and bloodshed, all brought to life through effortlessly evocative prose. I devoured every page.' Elise Kova, New York Times Bestselling Author of Arcana Academy
-
'Part fantastical court intrigue, part murder mystery, part lush queer romance, and part dysfunctional found family. At times, the writing is humorous, at others it bites like a scorpion's sting.' Katy Nyquist, author of the A Holy Maiden's Guide to Getting Kidnapped
-
'Absolutely perfect for fans of Gideon the Ninth, These Shattered Spires pulses with the weird and wonderful macabre. Salter weaves a ragtag crew of lovable misfits with uniquely grim world-building that is impossible to forget.' Catelyn Wilson, author of All the Devils with Penguin
-
'Gruesome, gothic, gay and glorious. I ate this up from cover to cover. Addictively weird, heartfelt and a bloody good time!' Kat Dunn, author of Bitterthorn
-
'These Shattered Spires is the weirdest book I've read this year, which is the highest praise I can give. It is delightfully grotesque, exquisitely macabre and viscerally strange' Alwyn Hamilton, author of Rebel in the Sands
