Bloomsbury presents Devils We Know by L.T. Thompson, read by Stephanie Cannon

"Queer buccaneers on a magical adventure . . . one of the comps was Our Flag Means Death, how could I not give it a try? I'm so glad I did!" — Rick Riordan, on Devils Like Us

The sequel to the Stonewall Honor winner Devils Like Us

Three queer teens must bring Death out of hiding to save one of their own in book two of this YA historical fantasy duology that's Our Flag Means Death meets The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy.

We need to find Death.

Cas, Remy, and Finn are on the run from the Order of Lazarus, a secret society that wants to use Cas’s prophetic powers to capture Death and ensure that only the “unworthy” and “immoral” will meet their ends. Which will not only upend nature’s balance but also tear apart the only place the friends have ever felt safe to be themselves: Aboard the Mori, where Cas can live openly as a trans boy, and where Remy and Finn are beginning to fall for each other. No matter what, they can’t let that happen.

To protect their found family of queer sailors, the three teens will need to find Death first and strike a bargain of their own. But the society is hot on their heels—and so is a demon who’s determined to claim the soul he’s owed.©2026 L.T. Thompson (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic Reviews

Absolutely fantastic.
Taut with tension and with a story that's propelled forward by characters I adore, Devils Like Us is extraordinary. L. T. Thompson delivers a breathless adventure that's full of action, wit, and beautiful self-realization.
A triumph. L.T. Thompson's breathtaking prose and masterful storytelling create a mystical, chilling adventure, but Cas, Finn, Remy, and the crew of the Memento Mori feel like home. This story and these characters are burned into my heart forever; I will follow them anywhere.
Full of horror, humor, and queer friendship, Devils Like Us is a dark and exciting adventure sure to satisfy any reader who daydreams of running away to sea or plotting revolution.
In this taut, complex fantasy, Thompson skillfully plumbs the [. . .] protagonists' doubts, motivations, and desires, as experienced against a vivid society and setting, to examine themes of found family and identity.
Well-written and exciting.
Magic and mysticism deftly share space with examinations of self in this gripping, profoundly insightful novel. . . . a dynamic, heartwarming first entry in Thompson's coming-of-age fantasy series.
A creative mash-up of tropes that combines a swashbuckling and piratical adventure with a cozy found family . . . delves into fate, religion, identity, romance, and more with aplomb. Suspenseful, emotional, and highly recommended.
Don't hesitate to liven up YA ­collections with this unique and ­atmospheric, ­piratical ­adventure.
