Description

“The Scythe Year” is dark fantasy: a story of hope, friendship, family, and the steadfastness of the human spirit. “One of the most anticipated books of 2022,” “The best YA fantasy of the year,” “Book of the Month”—according to THE NEW YORK TIMES, BUZZFEED, EPIC READS, BUSTLE, and many others. When you meet the dead, it’s best to pretend you can’t see them. Lord Cassius learned that the hard way when he went to defend the borders of his kingdom. Meanwhile, a plague spread across the land, leaving countless corpses in its wake. Even a title couldn’t save Cas from a merciless disease and a prison cell. Three years later, he returns home. An assassination attempt is made on the newborn heir to the throne, and Cas sets out to track down the killer. Together with the beautiful Lina, a brilliant historian, he must uncover a conspiracy and learn a terrible secret—one that threatens the fragile peace and could pull the kingdom into war. “I’m obsessed with the magic that Lucie weaves into this dark, yet still hopeful fairy tale.” — Kristina Kashor, author of the bestselling series “Seven Kingdoms” “A skilfully crafted novel that has everything I love about epic fantasy: complex characters and relationships, a well-built world, and an exhilarating story full of surprising plot twists. The main characters, with all their weaknesses and strengths, feel absolutely real.” — Juliet Marillier, author of “The Harp of Kings” “You’ll devour this book in one sitting.” — School Library Journal About the author Makia Lucie earned a degree in journalism and library science. Her three previous books—“Deadly Sick Year,” “Island of Blood and Stone,” and “Song of the Abyss”—have made it onto many notable reading lists, including the list of the American Booksellers Association and “Best Fiction for Teens.”
