A final deadly game will reveal the darkest secrets in the City of Sin in the thrilling conclusion of this "decadent and delicious" YA fantasy trilogy (Kirkus Reviews).
Return to the City of Sin, where the perilous final game is about to begin . . . The players? Twenty-two of the most powerful, most notorious people in New Reynes. With no choice but to play, Enne and Levi are desperate to forge new alliances and bargain for their safety. But any misstep could turn deadly when a far more dangerous opponent appears on the board —one plucked straight from the city's most gruesome legends.
While Levi hides behind a mask of false promises, Enne is finally forced out from behind hers. As the game takes its final, vicious turn, these two must decide once and for all whether to be partners or enemies. Because in a game for survival, there are no winners . . .
There are only monsters.

      Foody lays all the cards on the table as New Reynes' power players, from crime lords to politicians, play a final, deadly game in this trilogy conclusion. In this sequel to King of Fools (2019), the curse holding the Shadow Game together is broken, and malison Bryce is using his shade-making blood talent to replace it with a new curse game in a gambit designed to draw in a notorious figure of New Reynes legend, the Bargainer, as a last-ditch effort at saving the life of his lover, Rebecca. It's an elaborate game of Assassin, in which each of the 22 participants finds a name written on the back of a special Shadow Game card, specifying their target. The first to collect a chain of five cards wins, and anyone who doesn't hold their assigned target's card at the end of the game will die. Alongside the game, the true history of New Reynes and the Revolution--and Enne's mysterious heritage--are among the secrets that unravel. At times, the sprawling plot (with many viewpoints) could use some pruning, but part of the charm is savoring the large number of well-rounded, shades-of-gray characters as they love, make mistakes, hurt, betray, and try to forgive each other. Relationships are particularly strong--familial, friendships, and romances both toxic and healthy; plentiful queer representation thwarts bisexual erasure in particular. As in previous volumes, the cast is racially diverse. As decadent and delicious as it is dense. (Fantasy. 14-adult)
