Bookseller recommendation

“What a ROMP! Oh my this one grabbed me from the first chapter! A world with 12 magically blessed descendants who all end up on a ship and one by one start getting murdered? I didn't realize I liked murder mysteries but this kept me on my toes guessing the entire time! With just the right amount of twists and turns I couldn't wait to put on my headphones and keep listening. This paired with the laugh-out-loud funny moments, themes of queer love, and found family just STOLE my heart. We all need more Dees and Grasshoppers in our life. If this isn't enough praise, THE NARRATION. This is HANDS DOWN the BEST BOOK I'VE LISTENED TO ALL YEAR (2024). I need more of this story from the author and more from this voice actor (Nathan Foad)!”

Bookseller recommendation

“It's rare that a book surprises me and I am always delightfully tickled when it does - it makes the reading adventure more enjoyable and the story just that much better. Voyage of the Damned is one of those rare books that catches you off guard and completely captures your heart. Besides the gruesome murders in this Agatha Christie-esque fantasy mystery, this story is surprisingly wholesome and made me happy. I laughed. I cried. I laughed some more, which was followed by twisted horror and a great ending. There was no moment when I wasn't glued to the page. And I don't think I've ever loved a six-year-old character more than I love Grasshopper. This book was absolutely captivating, and I loved the twisted magical powers each character had. Nathan Foad does an incredible job narrating the audiobook and bringing these characters and story to life. I highly recommend giving this a listen on Libro.fm!”

“The best audio I’ve listened to this year. This book is a genre mashup of mystery, queer romance and fantasy all in one. It’s a romp! It kept me guessing until the very end. Perfect for those who want the tenderness of a found-family story but also want a good time.”

Summary
About the author

THE TIKTOK SENSATION FROM THE UK HAS COME TO NORTH AMERICA!

“Magical, murderous, romantic romp through a fantasy world as colorful as it is captivating.” Thea Guanzon, New York Times bestselling author of THE HURRICANE WARS

A mind-blowing murder mystery on a ship full of magical passengers. If Agatha Christie wrote fantasy, this would be it!

For a thousand years, Concordia has maintained peace between its provinces. To mark this incredible feat, the emperor’s ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage to the sacred Goddess’s Mountain. Aboard are the twelve heirs of the provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing.

All except one: Ganymedes Piscero—class clown, slacker and all-around disappointment.

When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people and without a Blessing to protect him, Ganymedes’s odds of survival are slim.

But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be. Can he unmask the killer and their secret Blessing before this bloody crusade reaches the shores of Concordia?

Or will the empire as he knows it fall?
