Overview
Dos reinas, dos religiones, dos visiones del futuro de la nación. Huyendo a Londres con un cazador de brujas tras su rastro, Alyce descubre su propia magia oscura y se ve envuelta en la lucha.
La madre de Alyce acaba de ser quemada en la hoguera por practicar brujería. Con solo un pequeño conjunto de instrucciones y la madre de una bruja como guía, Alyce debe enfrentarse al mundo del que ha sido aislada: un mundo de miedo y superstición. Con un cazador de brujas rápidamente detrás de su rastro, necesitará la ayuda de un posadero y un niño que busque descubrir la verdad detrás del pasado de su propia madre. Pero a medida que su viaje continúa, otra guerra se desata: una guerra oculta de lo sobrenatural, de los vivos y los muertos. El bien y el mal se difuminan y no se puede confiar en los motivos de nadie. Y Alyce se ve envuelta de mala gana en el conflicto. Luchando por comprender sus propios poderes, rápidamente se ve envuelta en una red de secretos, mentiras y magia oscura que podrían cambiar el destino del mundo que acaba de conocer. Este debut oscuro, retorcido y emocionante y original dejará a los lectores fascinados en su trama de suspenso y prosa rica.
