The Boneless Mercies

Frey, Ovie, Juniper, and Runa are the Boneless Mercies girls hired to kill quickly, quietly, and mercifully. But Frey is weary of the death trade and, having been raised on the heroic sagas of her people, dreams of a bigger life.

In this gorgeous standalone companion to the critically acclaimed fantasy, The Boneless Mercies, April Tucholke spins a bold and blood-hungry retelling of the King Arthur legend that is perfect for fans of Naomi Novik, Garth Nix, and Laini Taylor. On the heels of a devastating plague, Torvi’s sister, Morgunn is stolen from the family farm by Uther, a flame-loving Fremish wolf-priest who leads a pack of ragged, starving girls. Torvi leaves the only home she’s ever known, and joins a shaven-skulled druid and a band of roaming Elsh artists known as the Butcher Bards. They set out on a quest to rescue Torvi’s sister, and find a mythical sword. On their travels, Torvi and her companions will encounter magical night wilds and mystical Drakes who trade in young men. They will sing rowdy Elshland ballads in a tree-town tavern, and find a mysterious black tower in an Endless Forest. They will fight alongside famous Vorseland archers and barter with Fremish wizards. They will feast with rogue Jade Fell children in a Skal Mountain cave, and seek the help of a Pig Witch. They will face wild, dangerous magic that leads to love, joy, tragedy, and death. Torvi set out to rescue a sister, but she may find it’s merely the first step toward a life that is grander and more glorious than anything she could have imagined.

Entre la chispa y la hoguera

Fantasy román z kategorie young adult je volně inspirován staroanglickým hrdinským eposem Béowulf. Frey touží po životě, o kterém se budou vyprávět ságy a skládat písně. Jenže je členkou nechvalně proslulé starodávné ženské skupiny, která přežila vzestup i pád království. Členky skupiny jsou obchodnice se smrtí, odsouzené k tomu, aby křižovaly Vorskem a za bídnou odměnu zabíjely staré nebo nemocné lidi. Jejich metody jsou tiché, ba dokonce milosrdné, ale kamkoli je jejich putování zavede, tam jejich dýky vyvolávají napětí. Frey a její přítelkyně -- Ovie, Runa a Juniper -- už jsou kupčením se smrtí unavené a sní o lepším životě. Takže když Frey zaslechne, že na severu řádí bestie, uvědomí si, že likvidace příšery jim skýtá šanci na slávu a bohatství. Cena za to ale není malá. Skupina dívek se během putování bude muset vyrovnat se samotářskými čarodějnicemi a čelit bezohledné Kruté královně z Červené bažiny. Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.
