Publisher Description

Readers of Shauna Lawless and Thilde Kold Holdt will love this Celtic-inflected adventure by Anna Smith Spark. The sequel to the folk horror high fantasy A Sword of Bronze and Ashes is a lyrical blend of epic myth and daily life.

Kanda and her family are on a quest to rebuild the glory that was Roven. Mother and daughters stand together as a light against the darkness. But mother and daughters both have hands that are stained red with blood. They walk a path that is stranger and more beautiful than even Kanda dared imagine, bright with joy, bitter with grief. Ghosts and monsters dog their footsteps—but the greatest monsters lie in their hearts.
