New York Times bestselling author Morgan Rhodes takes readers into exhilarating new high-fantasy territory with A BOOK OF SPIRITS AND THIEVES. Written in alternating perspectives that shift between modern-day Toronto and the ancient kingdoms of Mytica, Rhodes masterfully weaves the dark, magical world of her Falling Kingdoms series into an epic contemporary saga that will leave you breathless.
Modern-day Toronto: A heavy leather-bound book written in an unrecognizable language is delivered to the Speckled Muse, the antique bookshop owned by Crystal and Becca Hatcher’s mother. When Becca opens it, she’s sent into a coma, leaving Crys behind to uncover a series of terrifying secrets.
Ancient Mytica: A merciless goddess hunts for the elusive treasure that will make her ruler not only of Mytica, but of all the unseen worlds that lay beyond it.
Modern-day Toronto: Rich and aimless Farrell Grayson finally has the chance to prove himself when the mysterious leader of a powerful secret society invites him into his fold.
Ancient Mytica: Maddox Corso has always been different, but never remarkable. Everything changes the day he meets a pretty, unfamiliar girl from a faraway land, only to realize that he’s the only one who can see her.
Fate has brought these young people together, but ancient magic threatens to rip them apart.
Now on to the interview I have responses for a few too!
Would you
rather live in the real world or Mytica?
The real world. (There are no iPhones or modern-day plumbing in
Mytica.)
LOL I could live without the plumbing if it meant I got to spend time with Magnus ;) ;)

Would you
rather be Cleonia, Crystal, or Lucia if you had to pick one of your heroines
from both series?

Agreed!
Agreed!
Would you
rather be with Magnus or Maddox?
I adore Maddox, my adorable little ghostbuster… but my heart
belongs to Magnus.
Yep! Mine too!

Would you

Sweet.
Would you rather have a dragon or be a dragon?
Have a dragon. (Although the litterbox would be a major chore.)

City.
Would you
rather live by the ocean or by the mountains?
By the ocean.
Would you
rather be stuck in a house with someone you hate or be stuck in a house alone?

Morgan Rhodes is the New York Times bestselling author of the FALLING KINGDOMS series. As a child, she always wanted to be a princess—the kind that knows how to wield a sharp sword to help save both kingdoms and princes from fire-breathing dragons and dark wizards.

Along with writing, Morgan enjoys photography, travel, and reality TV, and is an extremely picky yet voracious reader of all kinds of books.
