Daughter of the Burning City

fullDescription

A darkly irresistible new fantasy set in the infamous Gomorrah Festival, a traveling carnival of debauchery that caters to the strangest of dreams and desires

Sixteen-year-old Sorina has spent most of her life within the smoldering borders of the Gomorrah Festival. Yet even among the many unusual members of the traveling circus-city, Sorina stands apart as the only illusion-worker born in hundreds of years. This rare talent allows her to create illusions that others can see, feel, and touch, with personalities all their own. Her creations are her family, and together they make up the cast of the festival's freak show.

But no matter how lifelike they may seem, her illusions are still just that—illusions, and not truly real. Or so she has always believed ... until one of them is murdered.

Desperate to protect her family, Sorina must track down the culprit and determine how they killed a person who doesn't actually exist. Her search for answers leads her to the self-proclaimed gossip-worker Luca. Their investigation sends them through a haze of political turmoil and forbidden romance, and into the most sinister corners of the festival. But as the killer continues murdering Sorina's illusions one by one, she must unravel the horrifying truth before all her loved ones disappear.

     The Gomorrah Festival is a sprawling, traveling city of performers who cater to needs both innocent and not so innocent. Sixteen-year-old narrator Sorina, the festival owner’s adopted daughter, is an illusion worker who uses her ability to create Gomorrah’s freak show performers. She’s also a “freak” herself: she has no eyes, only smooth skin where they would be, yet she can see thanks to her talent. Sorina’s creations serve as the family she never had, among them acrobat party-girl Venera and the two-headed Unu and Du. When Gill, the “Trout Man,” is killed, Sorina is shocked: her illusions aren’t real, right? To figure out what has happened and who is responsible, Sorina enlists the help of gossip-worker Luca, her guide to Gomorrah’s sinister Downhill neighborhood. Debut author Foody’s colorful setting is vast—filled with magic, political intrigue, and the potential to grow—yet Sorina’s romantic interest in Luca is a head-scratcher, given his lack of warmth and frequent put-downs aimed at her. A few big twists clear up most of the early inconsistencies that arise, but the too-neat finale may not satisfy all readers. Ages 14–up. Agent: Brianne Johnson, Writers House.
