Synopsis
House of Dusk, Deva Fagan's first novel for adults, is an epic fantasy set in a world with Greek Bronze Age influences, following Sephre, a former soldier haunted by the memory of a massacre she once commanded and now struggling to live with what she did, and Yeneris, a spy who reluctantly becomes bodyguard to an enemy princess as part of a mission she did not choose. As the two women's paths intertwine amid the political tensions between their respective peoples, both are forced to confront the compromises and violence their earlier loyalties demanded of them, testing where their true allegiances now lie. Set against a richly built Bronze Age-inspired world of rival kingdoms and old grudges, the novel follows Sephre and Yeneris as their entangled missions push each of them toward choices neither anticipated having to make.
