Gothic, intoxicating, feminist,
darkly provoking and deeply romantic - this is the breathtakingly
imagined untold story of the brides of Dracula, by bestselling author
Kiran Millwood Hargrave in her much-anticipated YA debut.
„They say the thirst of blood is like a madness - they must sate it. Even with their own kin.“
On
the eve of her divining, the day she'll discover her fate,
seventeen-year-old Lil and her twin sister Kizzy are captured and
enslaved by the cruel Boyar Valcar, taken far away from their beloved
traveller community.
Forced to work in the harsh and unwelcoming
castle kitchens, Lil is comforted when she meets Mira, a fellow slave
who she feels drawn to in a way she doesn't understand. But she also
learns about the Dragon, a mysterious and terrifying figure of myth and
legend who takes girls as gifts.
They may not have had their divining day, but the girls will still discover their fate...
