Deepest Blue - Paperback

by Mindy Tarquini (Author)

In a magical city seen only at twilight, resentful second son Matteo unlocks secrets which could cause his world's star to set. For fans of Neil Gaiman and Paulo Coelho comes "a haunting lyrical fantasy dealing with love, loss, and political turmoil." (Publisher's Weekly) In Panduri, an enchanted city seen only at twilight, everyone's path is mapped, everyone's destiny decided, their lives charted at birth and steered by an unwavering star. Everyone has his place, and Matteo, second son of Panduri's duca, is eager to take up his as Legendary Protector--at the border and out from under his father's domineering thumb. Then Matteo's older brother pulls rank and heads to the border in his stead, leaving Panduri's orbit in a spiral and Matteo's course on a skid. Forced to follow an unexpected path, resentful and raw, Matteo is determined to rise, to pursue the one future Panduri's star can never chart: a life of his own.
