'A glorious tapestry of magic and murderous gods' - BuzzFeed News

'Fans of A Darker Shade of Magic and All of Us Villains will want to pick this up' - BookRiot

'A delightful, complex, intimate yet explosive debut adult fantasy' - Strange Horizons

DARKNESS FALLS. GODS RISE.

The Four Realms - Life, Death, Light, and Darkness - all converge on the City of Dusk. For each realm there is a god, and for each god there is an heir.

But the gods have withdrawn their favour from the once vibrant and thriving metropolis. And without it, all the realms are dying.

Unwilling to stand by and watch the destruction, the four heirs - Angelica, an elementalist with her eyes set on the throne; Risha, a necromancer fighting to keep the peace; Nikolas, a soldier who struggles to see the light; and Taesia, a shadow-wielding rogue with a reckless heart - will become reluctant allies in the quest to save their city.

But their rebellion will cost them dearly.

Set in a world of bone palaces and shadow magic, of vengeful gods and defiant chosen ones, The City of Dusk is Tara Sim's crackling adult fantasy debut.

The City of Dusk Reviews

Tara Sim's adult debut is a glorious tapestry of magic and murderous gods and a perfect entry for anyone looking for a new series starter * BuzzFeed *
City of Dusk is deceptive; it starts off relatively fluffy and ends elbows-deep in blood... if you're expecting a neat package that gets tied up in a confrontation with one clearly defined Big Bad at the end, you're in for a surprise * SFX *
Fantasy readers will appreciate Sim's attempt to create an expansive world in the vein of A Darker Shade of Magic or Gideon the Ninth....There's a lot to love here * Kirkus Reviews *
For Sim's most devoted fans * Publishers Weekly *
Lovers of epic, dark fantasies, rejoice! There's literally a lot here to love at 512 pages, including immersive writing that excellently builds this magical world, badass queer characters, and an interesting plot. Fans of A Darker Shade of Magic and All of Us Villains will want to pick this up sooner rather than later * BookRiot *
Through its generous number of perspectives and gorgeous prose, Tara Sim proves herself again to be a talented worldbuilder and detailed storyteller * Locus *
A delightful, complex, intimate yet explosive debut adult fantasy novel * Strange Horizons *
Recommended for fans of large scale fantasy sagas with diverse, frequently queer protagonists * Booklist *
A good fantasy, with a cracking ensemble cast and a wonderful world * Grimdark Magazine *
