Marrow

by Emory Glass

Sent by her adoptive father to a prestigious school where young women are trained to become living works of art, Marrow is determined to become the first magical sculptress the Empire has ever known. Before her seventeenth birthday, she must present a contract of patronage signed by a wealthy sponsor to guarantee repayment of her debts. In spite of her burgeoning renown, no one will make her an offer.

Just days before her chance at fame and fortune vanishes forever, Marrow meets a mysterious benefactor whose patronage has but one condition — one that will hurl Marrow completely unprepared into a realm of ruthless sabotage, harrowing revelations, and tortuous court intrigue.

About the author

Emory Glass is an avid artist, worldbuilder, and author. She wrote her first novella aged 12. A year later, she discovered fantasy of the gloomier variety and resolved to create a lush world of magic and excitement brimming with vivid characters, byzantine plots, inexhaustible lore, and shocking story twists. This she dubbed “The Chroma Books." She penned the first novel set in its universe at 16 and earned her first publication shortly after turning 18.

She prioritizes stories with female characters in most leading roles, standalones that fit into the greater backdrop of the same setting, and meticulous lore. When not writing or reading Dark Fantasy, you can find her sipping a cup of matcha and hanging out with her husband, the two cats who tolerate them, and their beloved Belgian malinois.
