Description

The #2 Sunday Times bestselling murder mystery on a ship full of magical passengers. If Agatha Christie wrote fantasy, this would be it! To mark the thousandth year of peace in the Empire of Concordia, the emperor's ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage. Aboard are the heirs of the twelve provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique magical ability known as a Blessing. Except one- Ganymedes Piscero. When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people, odds of survival are slim. But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be and unmask the killer before he ends up the next victim of their bloody crusade.

Reviews

A fiendishly compelling locked room mystery brimming with character and heart that blew me away! Whites protagonist Ganymedes Piscero is utterly endearing. His unique brand of humour, bravado, and vulnerability hits a bullseye in the feels. A delightful debut. * A.Y Chao, bestselling author of Shanghai Immortal *
Frances White has crafted a brilliantly clever tale full of heart-warming characters, riveting twists and a gloriously conceived world * Bea Fitzgerald, bestselling author of Girl, Goddess, Queen *
"Agatha Christie with glitter magic." Im totally here for it.Both funny and flirty as it deals with issues of class, snobbery and sexuality amongst all the magic and murder. The result is hugely entertaining * Herald *
An enchanting, bloody delight. Full of magic, laugh-out-loud humor, and so much murder * Gabi Burton, author of Sing Me To Sleep *
I burned through this in about two days. Absolutely bloody brilliant! Voyage of the Damned is clever and comedic, while also heartfelt and harrowing. I hope readers will come to enjoy Dee's escapades as much as I did * Sunyi Dean, author of The Book Eaters *
Voyage of the Damned is hilarious and full of heart. The twists and turns in this novel had be genuinely gasping with surprise. I had to pace myself as I really didnt want it to end * A. S. Webb, author of Daughter of Chaos *
Boundless imagination, sparkling proseand a knack for the heartwarming moments as well as the hilariousall combine to make Frances White a force to be reckoned with * Thea Guanzon, USA Today, New York Times, and Sunday Times bestselling author of THE HURRICANE WARS *
