The Summer War

Description

A young witch’s careless words ignite a prophecy she never meant to unleash: when her beloved brother Argent leaves home, her anger curdles into a curse that condemns him to a life stripped of love. As Argent is drawn across the world in search of fame and glory, Celia—growing from girlhood into adulthood—struggles to undo what she has wrought, even as the truth of an ancient conflict surfaces. At the heart of the story is the long, simmering war between her people and the summerlings, immortal beings whose grudges have shaped the land for centuries. With the help of an unlikely ally, Celia must confront the cost of magic, the limits of control, and what it really means to heal what has been broken—delivered in Naomi Novik’s signature blend of lyrical fantasy, emotional stakes, and sharp, character-driven wonder.
