The thrilling sequel to the queer witchy fantasy The Girl of Hawthorn and Glass.
After stealing the Heart of a magical world with the help of a supernatural assassin, Tav discovers that they can't just see magic — they know how to use it. Returning to the human City of Ghosts, Tav, Eli, and Cam race to heal the wounds in the veil between worlds before the Earth's lifeforce is drained by the tyrannical Witch Lord ... and Eli's new Heart-infused body falls apart.
Meanwhile, in the City of Eyes, Kite has joined forces with the bloodthirsty childwitch Clytemnestra, and together they are raising an army to overthrow the world-eating Coven.
With blood and magic spilled on both sides, who will survive?

      Facing the looming threat of a dying world, a group of magical outcasts fights to end the reign of the immortal Witch Lord in this final installment of the Metamorphosis duology. A wound in time and space connects Earth to the City of Eyes, a land of chaotic magic ruled by the power-hungry Witch Lord. To save both worlds, Eli, a White assassin with the Heart of another world thrumming in her chest, and Tav, a Black boi with the ability to create magic doors, must work in unison to heal the rift. However, every day the Heart's overwhelming power threatens to consume Eli and the Witch Lord, who, intent on total domination, sends an army of monsters against the rebels who dare to challenge her. The third-person point of view rotates among three characters--Eli, Tav, and the blue-skinned witch Kite--with perspective shifts that ramp up the momentum and suspense. The queer, polyamorous romance is wound with tension and longing that are not based on jealousy while remaining consent-positive. Jerreat-Poole crafts vivid imagery using wild and surprising prose. Snippets of lore tease at a vast universe beyond Earth and the City of Eyes. Amid the witchery and the untamable, sentient magical setting, the characters grapple with the intimate complexities of identity and their understanding of justice. Hopeful and satisfying, the resolution calls the characters into continued action and community engagement. An energizing and magnetic whirlwind. (Fantasy. 14-18)
