YOUNG ADULT

Eleanor Zarrin has been estranged from her wild family for years. When she flees boarding school after a horrifying incident, she goes to the only place she thinks is safe: the home she left behind. But when she gets there, she struggles to fit in with her monstrous relatives, who prowl the woods around the family estate and read fortunes in the guts of birds.
Customer review: Exquisitely creepy, gothic and a page-turner.

FICTION

At the intersection of a commercial page-turner and an urgent survivor story, Dark Horses applies the compelling exploration of female strength to the searing themes of abuse and resilience.

NONFICTION
