The Emperor of the vast Burnt Empire has died, leaving a turbulent realm without a sovereign. Two young princes are in line to rule, but birthright does not guarantee inheritance: For any successor must sit upon the Burning Throne and pass The Test of Fire. Imbued with dark sorceries, the throne is a crucible—one that incinerates the unworthy.

The princes pass The Test . . . but there is another who also survives: a girl from an outlying kingdom. When she is denied her claim, her father, a powerful demonlord, declares war—leaving the princes to rule a shattered realm embroiled in rebellion.

Brett is older than Cash by a decade; both are world-weary from negotiating brain trauma, addiction, road trips, and a Billy Graham crusade. Bath salts and babies work on their relationship in a unique, intimate and honest, raw and redemptive novel. This “weird, true, and singular” story (Kyle Minor) travels with Gen X on Sappho-inspired prose. If you like Jenny Offill, Elena Ferrante, Karen Joy Fowler, and David Sedaris, you’ll love this brutally honest look at love’s imperfections. Lovely Bookshelf calls it “just as compelling and rich as Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch or Meg Wolitzer’s The Interestings.”
