Bookseller recommendation
“A great read - or actually listen, in my case. Rebecca Roanhorse has created a compelling cast of characters and set them loose in a western fantasy noir world (with a touch of steampunk). Zero to sixty in the opening, and then it really takes off. I hope the author has more coming from this world!”
— Kathy • Belmont Books
Bookseller recommendation
“Tread of Angels by Rebecca Roanhorse is a tasty morsel of a novella placed in a mining town crawling with fallen angels and the 'Virtues,' monsters in human skin who believe themselves righteous enough to rule. Part Western, part romantic drama, and part mystery, Tread of Angels is a haunting parable, dripping with rich language and unforgettable character arcs. It's the perfect length for listening on a day trip if you want to think about nothing else for the rest of the day.”
— Wulfe • Raven Book Store
Celeste, a card sharp with a need for justice, takes on the role of advocatus diaboli, to defend her sister Mariel, accused of murdering a Virtue, a member of the ruling class of this mining town, in an “intricate…engrossing” (The Washington Post) new world of dark fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of Black Sun, Rebecca Roanhorse.
The year is 1883 and the mining town of Goetia is booming as prospectors from near and far come to mine the powerful new element Divinity from the high mountains of Colorado with the help of the pariahs of society known as the Fallen. The Fallen are the descendants of demonkind living amongst the Virtues, the winners in an ancient war, with the descendants of both sides choosing to live alongside Abaddon’s mountain in this tale of the mythological West from the bestselling mastermind Rebecca Roanhorse.
Rebecca Roanhorse is the New York Times bestselling author of The Sixth World series and the Between Earth and Sky trilogy. She has won multiple awards for her fiction including the Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Awards. She has also written for Marvel and Lucasfilm, and for hit TV series including A Murder At the End of the World and Echo. She lives in New Mexico with her family.

Reviews
"Narrator Dion Graham's superb performance helps to create a weird and wonderful fantasy world based around Goetia, a town full of demon- and angel-type characters with a Western feel. When Goetian slum resident Mariel is accused of murder, her sister, Celeste, sets out to prove her innocence, using every method open to her. Graham's narration is the perfect match to this tale. As he skillfully brings alive the broad cast of characters, his voicing of Celeste is particularly notable. His pitch-perfect timing keeps the listener engaged, and his authentic-sounding pronunciation of the evocative names gives a sense of reality to this otherwise alternative world."
