A djinn.
A boy.
A terrible contract.
"I wouldn't have asked for that if I knew
I could ask for anything."
Vaelin is an ancient djinn on a quest to seek the
artifact to which she is enslaved.
Her centuries-long journey lands
her in the southern port city-state of Sol Forne,
where she is certain the artifact is held.
There, she meets Dorovan, a disaffected
youth from a dissolved noble house.
Though their initial connection is cursory,
their bond becomes one that may endanger the entire Cycle of Nature.
This is a sequel that doesn't feel like a filler but immensely important to the series and one that will leave you craving for the next one.

Like its predecessor, A Contract in Sol Forne features compelling lore and rune magic, mythical creatures, deeply gray characters, and the same dark fairy-tale style of storytelling that will capture and enthrall readers of adult fantasy.

Everything I wanted from a sequel and more. Once again Élan Marché & Christopher Warman have managed to suck me into their fairytale fantasy world and they did so in a way that I felt the urge to binge this book the same way I would a good Netflix series.
―Boe Kelly (ARC Reader)
The book gets into the action right away, combining the feel of a localized political thriller with the trappings of a classic fairy tale. Highly recommended!
―J.R. Snyder (author of A Season of Ravens)
A Contract in Sol Forne is just as good, if not better than it's predecessor Seasons of Albadone. [...] I have a feeling that the story will only continue to get better from here.
