From the very first page, Kiran Millwood Hargrave's captivating novel had me completely enthralled. With its timely and horrifying narrative, it seamlessly weaves together a fascinating and fractured landscape of folkloric traditions and contemporary divisions. Cari Thomas, the acclaimed author of Sunday Times-bestselling novel Threadneedle, praises it as a vibrant and devastating tale of loss and love, featuring characters that are truly unforgettable.
Rowena, the protagonist, has always been a rebel, with a foul mouth and a mischievous nature. However, she is also cursed, marked by Death since birth. When her boyfriend and father pass away in quick succession, her mother sends her to her grandmother, the only healer strong enough to lift the curse before her eighteenth birthday. Halim, on the other hand, is a proud and independent man, just a few payments away from owning his truck. However, his latest cargo is Rowena, and their journey together takes them across a disunited kingdom where folk marry the old ways of spells and superstition with reawakened prejudices.
As they traverse this treacherous landscape, Rowena and Halim face numerous challenges. Every gun-patrolled, hard county border poses a threat to their future, as do Rowena's increasingly dark visions. Their journey takes them through a world where magic and modernity clash, where old beliefs and new prejudices intertwine, and where survival is the only option.
Despite their differences, Rowena and Halim are forced to forge an alliance in order to survive. They learn to trust each other, to rely on each other's strengths, and to navigate the treacherous waters of their journey together. Through their struggles, they discover the true meaning of love, sacrifice, and the power of unity in the face of adversity.
Kiran Millwood Hargrave's novel is a masterpiece of storytelling, filled with rich imagery, intricate plotlines, and memorable characters. It is a testament to the author's talent and her ability to create a world that is both captivating and thought-provoking. Whether you are a fan of fantasy, romance, or historical fiction, this novel is sure to leave you spellbound from start to finish.
