Her voice grabbed me from the first page and never let go."--Rory Power, New York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls "The intricate, bloody mechanics of Hall's worldbuilding come together with her perfectly assured prose to make an utterly compelling fantasy, both haunted and haunting ."--A. K.
