Description
In this first volume of a dark, spellbound series, Jehanine—once a peasant girl with nowhere safe to turn—is assaulted by her stepfather and then cast off by the brother she runs to find. Fleeing the countryside, she reaches the strange city of Paradys, only to discover that survival there comes with its own cruel bargains and hidden terrors. As she clings to the hope of belonging, a relentless search begins for a demonic creature seemingly beyond the reach of steel, sorcery, or prayer. Woven through Jehanine’s flight and endurance are themes of trauma, abandonment, and the thin line between faith and fear, rendered in Tanith Lee’s signature lyrical, gothic intensity.
