""A rich, fantastical rendering that will leave readers clamoring for more."" — Justina Ireland, New York Times bestselling author of Dread Nation ""A spritely page-turner with depth and vision. Velma Frye is a talented, powerful hero in a cracking great mystery adventure, but it's the world--and Velma's place within it--that really grabbed my heart."" — Nebula Award-winning author C.L. Polk “Glover’s charming sequel to The Conductors digs deeper into the captivating Black society of a post–Civil War Philadelphia that’s infused with celestial magic…Layers on intrigue and tension build into a gripping whodunit…The easy momentum will keep both new and returning readers racing along to the end. It’s fun, twisty and richly detailed.” — Publishers Weekly on The Undertakers “The Undertakers…covers multiple interconnected mysteries with humor and warmth…Hetty and Benjy’s camaraderie is the real star of the show, no matter how many spells they fire off at assailants. The Undertakers’ historical fantasy vibe will appeal to fans of Alyssa Cole’s Loyal League series and Maurice Broaddus’s Buffalo Soldier.” — Booklist “An Underground Railroad—but with magic. With compelling characters and wondrous worldbuilding, Glover weaves a tangled mystery of murder, spellwork, and freedom amid the remnants of slavery’s lingering memories.” — P. Djèlí Clark, Nebula Award–winning author of Ring Shout, on The Conductors “The Conductors is a seamless blending of magic, mystery, and history, creating power and wonder with its rarefied glimpse of Black life in the late 1800s. The Vigilance Society and the magic-wielding couple at the core of this story are a welcome addition to the growing chorus of voices in Black speculative fiction. Glover’s worldbuilding, characters, and attention to historical detail create a delightfully genre-bending debut!” — Tananarive Due, American Book Award winner, author of Ghost Summer: Stories “A history buff’s dream fantasy novel. It is also a fantasy geek’s dream history novel.” — NPR on The Conductors
