#1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth pulls from Slavic folklore to explore family, duty, and what it means to be a monster in this sequel to the USA Today bestselling When Among Crows
A funeral. A heist. A mission born of desperation.
When someone in Dymitr's family dies, he's called back home for the Empty Night, a funeral rite intended to keep evil at bay.
The secret Dymitr is keeping from them makes returning home downright dangerous, but if he wants to get his hands on a book of curses that might appease Baba Jaga's blood lust, he has no choice. And when that same funeral brings ferocious creature-of-legend Niko to town for his own bloody purposes, Dymitr's charade becomes impossible to maintain.
Family gatherings can be brutal. Dymitr's might just be fatal.
"Rich with myth and tapped into the deepest kinds of magic, Roth has created a deliciously strange, multi-layered mystery full of very human longing."
Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House
"Lovely, lush, and full of otherworldly longing, this modern fairytale about righteousness and the weight we bear for love is Roth at her most imaginative and ethereal."
Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six
