From the author of WHY WE PLAY WITH FIRE comes the second installment of an epic journey.

After discovering she was a Godspring, Thea hoped to finally understand why she had felt out of place all her life. But as she delved deeper into her lineage, she came face to face with millenia-old predictions, riddles, and complex histories that offered no clear answers. Now, as she continues to strengthen and understand her abilities, she’s forced to deal with another problem: Malachite is losing its power—and even its rooms—now that the box has been stolen by a mysterious and obscure god.

As she tries to gain confidence in herself, Thea must reckon with the complications of a possible world-ending quest along with her confusing and sometimes thrilling emotions for Zero, a member of their rival school. Why We Fight the Tide, the first and final follow-up to Why We Play With Fire promises to have readers on the edge of their seat as Thea navigates complicated crushes amidst world-ending stressors and grief.
