The romance of A DARK AND DROWNING TIDE meets the horror of THE WITCHER in this YA queer fantasy, in which a girl who suffers from migraines falls through one of her auras and into the autumnal, wraith-filled otherworld, where she meets a sharp-edged girl who is being ritualistically used by the ruling secular cult that promised to cure them both, and vows to save the girl she's growing to love, even if it means becoming a pawn in the cult's plans for war. Coming from Peachtree Teen in Fall 2026.
