A Grim and Sunken Vow

“A dazzling sequel with enough tantalizing court intrigue, reveals, and secrets to keep you on the edge of your seat. Shuttleworth expertly expands the beautiful and cruel world of the fae with rich world-building and intricate character work in this must-read follow up to A Dark and Hollow Star.”–Liselle Sambury, author of BLOOD LIKE MAGIC and BLOOD LIKE FATE, on A CRUEL AND FATED LIGHT“A gripping flight into fantasy… The plot offers high stakes, simmering romantic tension, political drama, refreshingly casual representation of queer and transgender characters, and an intriguing magic system that draws inspiration from Dungeons & Dragons.”–Kirkus on A DARK AND HOLLOW STAR“Beautifully written and deliciously complex, A Dark and Hollow Star is utterly engrossing. The magic is bloody, the humor sharp, and the murder mystery drenched in violence and intrigue. Like a fallen Fury set on vengeance, I couldn’t get enough.”–Nicki Pau Preto, author of the Crown of Feathers Trilogy, on A DARK AND HOLLOW STAR“Tongue-in-cheek pop-culture references and snarky humor balance well with dark but sensitive portrayals of emotional trauma caused by abusive or negligent adults…. This first in a planned duology should be a hit.” –Booklist Online Exclusive on A DARK AND HOLLOW STAR
