The brilliant sequel to The Buried Life for fans of Cherie Priest and China Miéville.

In the fantastical, gaslit underground city of Recoletta, oligarchs from foreign states and revolutionaries from the farming communes vie for power in the wake of the city's coup. The dark, forbidden knowledge of how the city came to be founded has been released into the world for all to read, and now someone must pay.

Inspector Liesl Malone is on her toes, trying to keep the peace, and Arnault's spy ring is more active than ever. Has the city's increased access to knowledge put the citizens in even more danger? Allegiances change, long-held beliefs are adjusted, and things are about to get messy!

Praise for Cities and Thrones

Praise for Carrie Patel:

"With Regency-era sensibilities and Agatha Christie's flair for the subtle conundrum, Patel's debut novel introduces readers to a subterranean city of the future, centuries after what is dubbed 'The Catastrophe', and beautifully manages the delicate balance between entertainment and social commentary. The subtly fantastical story is resplendent with surprisingly deep villains, political corruption, and a gripping whodunit feel."
- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

"The Buried Life excels on many levels, quite apart from its presentation of strong female characters: it's a cracking whodunnit with sufficient twists and turns to make Agatha Christie proud, a vivid portrayal of a vibrant multicultural society, and an intriguing love story."
-The Guardian

"The Buried Life is a well-paced and enigmatic fantasy novel that will delight fans of urban fantasy."
