From acclaimed YA author Renee Hayes, whose bestselling Rim Walker series was honoured as an Editor's Pick by Publishers Weekly, comes a haunting new standalone novel that is already making waves. Petals and Teeth has been awarded the prestigious Gold Award in the Teen category of the Readers' Choice Book Awards, the highest accolade, cementing Hayes' reputation as one of today's most compelling voices in young adult fantasy.
In this darkly gothic fairy-tale of forbidden power, stolen memories and awakening fire, Hayes weaves a haunting story:
Stolen magic... stolen memories... and stolen bodies...
Magic is dark, magic is wrong, and magic is banned in all of Martarell.
The Demon King is at war with the people of Martarell, but when a violent storm tears through Inola Dreston's cottage, it shakes something loose in her world - and in herself.
Desperate for coin, she seeks work at the crumbling Cattenburg Manor, where shadows linger, ravens gather, and an injured soldier named Silas captures her heart before vanishing without a trace.
The deeper Inola digs, the more the manor reveals strange memories, a stirring power, and secrets buried beneath the dust - the mysterious Elwin Cattenburg.
As the Demon King's army marches closer, Inola uncovers a truth long stolen - not just from her, but from all of Martarell. Magic is waking, and Inola may be the key to stopping the darkness.
Because fire kills demons... and she's ready to burn.
