For fans of Sabaa Tahir and Guillermo del Toro comes\u00a0The Lustrous Dark<\/i>, a sweeping YA fantasy, in which a young midwife\u2019s apprentice rises up to take back the power that\u2019s been stolen from women.<\/b><\/p>\n

Orphaned as a baby, Shay has spent her life training as the midwife\u2019s apprentice. Her role grants her stability, yet Shay has always yearned for more. Namely, motherly affection and answers regarding her mysterious birth\u2014neither of which the midwife deems practical to provide.<\/p>\n

After Shay discovers her birth mother, Hind, is still alive and addicted to a magical drug called Snow, she determines to get the woman clean. But when Hind betrays Shay to get her hands on more Snow, Shay\u2019s abandoned within a deadly forest and forced to rely on a band of monstrous ghouls for safety.<\/p>\n

Shay\u2019s realm has long stood on the brink of war between the men who control magic and the revolutionaries who want to eliminate it. But in the forest, Shay hears the pleading call of ancient spirits who claim that not only has magic been stolen, but Shay has the power to return it. With the help of a spitfire revolutionary and the boy who\u2019s winning over her heart, Shay discovers the horrific truth of who produces Snow and will have to decide for herself whether to heed the spirits\u2019 charge or fade into obscurity.<\/p>\n

This emotionally raw and gorgeously rendered fairy tale combines the lush worldbuilding of\u00a0This Woven Kingdom\u00a0<\/i>with the mother trauma of\u00a0Snow White<\/i>\u00a0and a dash of Tim Burton. Steeped in mysticism and mythology,\u00a0The Lustrous Dark<\/i>\u00a0confronts injustices against women with a righteous scream that\u2019ll inspire readers to rally against the patriarchy and oppressive regimes worldwide.<\/p>\n

Perfect for readers who love Political Revolutions, Fighting the Patriarchy, Toxic Mothers, Reawakening the Gods, Ancient Magic, Bone-Chilling Monsters, Haunted Forests, Female Friendships, Fairy Tale Retellings, and Cinnamon Roll Love Interests.<\/b><\/p>\n
