An epic sapphic fantasy roadtrip inspired by the fall of Rome, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Frontier and Floating Hotel

On one side of the world, Aleya Ana-Ulai is desperate for a chance. Her family have written her off as a mistake, but she's determined to prove every last one of them wrong.

On the other, Kirby of Wall's End is searching for redemption. An ancient curse tore her life apart, but to fix it, she'll have to leave everything behind.

Fate sets them both on the path to Nivela, a city once poised to conquer the world with the power of a thousand stolen gods. Now the gates are closed and the old magic slumbers. Dead — or waiting for a spark to light it anew…

A character-driven science-fantasy road trip book with sword fights and a slowburn romance, Idolfire delves into the vastness of history and the terrifying power of organized faith.
"Idolfire combines classic, cozy adventure with character-driven drama for an end result that's both delightful and inspiring." —Tara Sim, author of The City of Dusk

"Idolfire is a delectable adventure… an ode to female friendship and power. Curtis uses her considerable talents to paint a rich, intricate world and makes it impossible not to fall in love with sweet Kirby and firebrand Aleya." —Sofia Robleda, Kindle Bestselling author of Daughter of Fire
