Basic Books Anathema

From the author of Nocticadia comes a spellbinding gothic dark fantasy about a shunned woman who is forced beyond the mortal realm's forbidden boundary, into a terrifying world of cursed souls and grotesque creatures - perfect for fans of Rachel Gillig, Devney Perry and Kaylie Smith. ____________ Only the banished know what lies beyond the woods... There are whispers of what lurks in Witch Knell, the forest where sinners perish. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what’s taken is never returned. Only the banished dare to approach. Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to enter the misty labyrinth, but tragedy forces her beyond the archway of bones into a dark, fantastical world. There dwells Zevander Rydainn, the cursed lord of Eidolon―a cold-blooded assassin―tasked with hiding her from the magehood that seeks her death. Zevander must protect Maevyth, whose blood can break his curse. But his growing obsession with her threatens to destroy everything.
