When Among Crows -- Veronica Roth

<p><b><i>When Among Crows</i> is swift and striking, drawing from the deep well of Slavic folklore and asking if redemption and atonement can be found in embracing what we most fear.</b> <p/><i>We bear the sword, and we bear the pain of the sword.</i> <p/>Pain is Dymitr's calling. His family is one in a long line of hunters who sacrifice their souls to slay monsters. Now he's tasked with a deadly mission: find the legendary witch Baba Jaga. To reach her, Dymitr must ally with the ones he's sworn to kill. <p/>Pain is Ala's inheritance. A fear-eating zmora with little left to lose, Ala awaits death from the curse she carries. When Dymitr offers her a cure in exchange for her help, she has no choice but to agree. <p/>Together they must fight against time and the wrath of the Chicago underworld. But Dymitr's secrets--and his true motives--may be the thing that actually destroys them. <p/><b>"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, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Atlas Six</i></b></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Veronica Roth<br><b>Publisher:</b> Tor Books<br><b>Published:</b> 05/14/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 176<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.54lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.38h x 5.27w x 0.68d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781250855480<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Library Journal Prepub Alert</i> 12/01/2023 pg. 9<br
