A dark, bewitching novel, it is a tale of reclaiming your identity, listening to your intuition, and the empowerment of creation and connection (Abitha and Samson make a beautiful couple) with well-rounded characters, rich folklore, and phenomenal storytelling. Seriously, this book is a work of magic.

The epitome of feminine rage. 
The artwork in the physical book is also absolutely stunning. 
I have so many good things to say that I can't even get them out. Highly recommend literally everyone read this.
