About The Book

Adventure. Vengeance. Sisterhood.

In a world devastated by plague, Torvi and her sister Morgunn can only rely on each other. So when Morgunn is captured by a pack of terrifying wolf-priests, Torvi knows she’ll do whatever it takes to get her back – or die trying.

Torvi will face dark magic and danger on her quest to save her sister. She’ll encounter sea witches, magical night markets and a mythical sword with untold powers.

And she might just discover a life of adventure and wild freedom that’s more glorious than she ever dreamed of.

Rich, thrilling fantasy inspired by Arthurian legend, from the author of the critically acclaimed THE BONELESS MERCIES

"Fierce and glorious, this story of outcast girls defying fate utterly bewitched me. Tucholke is a gorgeous writer." -- LAINI TAYLOR, New York Times-bestselling author of Strange the Dreamer

"​​Its every page hints at a deeper magic at work; it contains a whole world and all its myths and histories within its skin." -- MELISSA ALBERT, New York Times-bestselling author of The Hazel Wood
