About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with the profound difficulty of letting go of a loved one or is feeling burdened by a sense of responsibility they aren't sure they can carry. This dark fantasy follows Nedra, a necromancer, and Grey, a soldier, as they navigate a plague-ridden world where magic and science clash. While the setting is fantastical, the emotional core is deeply grounded in the messy reality of grief, guilt, and the ethical dilemmas that arise when we try to fix the unfixable. It is a sophisticated exploration of the transition into adulthood, where choices are rarely black and white and the consequences of our actions can be permanent. Parents will find it a valuable tool for discussing healthy ways to process loss and the importance of accountability, wrapped in an atmospheric and high-stakes adventure suitable for older teens.
