The Lustrous Dark is the first in a YA fantasy duology inspired by Moroccan folklore, combining the lush world of This Woven Kingdom with a dash of Tim Burton. A midwife's apprentice risks her future to save her birth mother from an addiction to Snow, a deadly drug that temporarily awakens women dormant magic. But when she's betrayed and abandoned in a haunted forest, she seek safety with a family of ghouls and uncovers the truth about how women's magic was stolen and the dangerous men who will stop at nothing to ensure it never returns.
