nThe Witcher meets Naomi Novik in this fast-paced fantasy rooted in Slavic folklore, from an assured new voice in genre n nAs a witch in the walled city of Chernograd, Kosara has plenty of practice taming rusalkas, fighting kikimoras, and brewing lycanthrope repellent. Theres only one monster Kosara cant defeat: her ex the Zmey, known as the Tsar of Monsters. Shes defied him one too many times, and now hes hunting her. Betrayed to him by someone close to her, Kosaras only hope is to trade her shadow--the source of her powers--for illegal passage across the Wall to Belograd, where monsters cant follow. n nLife in Belograd should be sweet, but Kosara soon develops a fast-acting version of the deadly wasting sickness that stalks shadowless witches--and only reclaiming her magic can cure her. To trace her shadow, shell have to team up with the suspiciously honorable detective investigating the death of the smuggler who brought her across the Wall. n nEven worse than working with the cops is that all the clues point in a single direction: one of the Zmeys monsters has found a crack in the Wall, and Kosaras magic is now in the Zmeys hands. n nThe clock is ticking, the hunt is on, and Kosaras priorities should be clear--but is she the hunter or the hunted? And in a city where everyone is out for themselves, who can Kosara trust to assist her in outwitting the man--the Monster--shes never been able to escape alone?n
