Elver fue sacrificada a un dios sangriento cuando era niña, pero la Reina de las Serpientes la devolvió a la vida, transformándola en algo más que humano. Artair, por su parte, es un insomne poseído por un espíritu violento mientras duerme.
Cuando una misión los une, ambos descubren que están atrapados en un conflicto entre dioses, monstruos y una magia peligrosa.
Con un vínculo imposible, secretos ocultos y un triángulo amoroso inusual, sus decisiones podrían llevar al mundo a la destrucción.
Jen Williams lives in London with her partner and their small ridiculous cat. Having been a fan of grisly fairy tales from a young age, these days Jen writes dark unsettling thrillers with strong female leads, as well as character-driven fantasy novels with plenty of adventure and magic. Her debut novel, The Copper Promise, kicked off the Copper Cat trilogy in 2014, and since then she has twice won the British Fantasy Award for her second trilogy, the Winnowing Flame. Her first thriller, Dog Rose Dirt, was published with HarperCollins in July 2021. Jen has two upcoming releases in 2023: Games for Dead Girls with Harpercollins, and Talonsister with Titan. When she’s not writing books she enjoys messing about with video games and embroidery, and also works as a part-time bookseller and a freelance copywriter.
