Together, they will join Séverin as he explores the dark, glittering heart of Paris. To hunt down the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Séverin calls upon a band of unlikely experts: An engineer with a debt to pay.

When the elite, ever-powerful Order of Babel coerces him to help them on a mission, Séverin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance. Here, no one keeps tabs on dark truths better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier Séverin Montagnet-Alarie. The city is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets. From New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi comes a novel set in Paris during a time of extraordinary change-one that is full of mystery, decadence, and dangerous desires.
