Daughter of Darkness (House of Shadows #1) by Katharine & Elizabeth Corr

Enter the Underworld in an original fantasy, inspired by ancient Greek myth.

Deina is trapped. As one of the Soul Severers serving the god Hades on earth, her future is tied to the task of shepherding the dying on from the mortal world - unless she can earn or steal enough to buy her way out.

Then the tyrant ruler Orpheus offers both fortune and freedom to whoever can retrieve his dead wife, Eurydice, from the Underworld. Deina jumps at the chance. But to win, she must enter an uneasy alliance with a group of fellow Severers she neither likes nor trusts.

So begins their perilous journey into the realm of Hades. . . The prize of freedom is before her - but what will it take to reach it?

'Deliciously dark, dangerously exciting, absolutely immersive fantasy from two goddesses of storytelling' - Sinéad O'Hart, author of The Eye of the North

'Rich with mythology, this twisty adventure spins a new story from old - one that will leave you breathless, broken and begging for more' - Bex Hogan, author of the Isles of Storm and Sorrow trilogy


PERFECT FOR FANS OF ALEXANDRA BRACKEN'S LORE AND JESSIE BURTON'S MEDUSA.

Reviews

 I was lost to this exquisitely crafted world. Daughter of Darkness is everything I want in a fantasy and more ― Mary Watson, author of BLOOD TO POISON

Steeped in blood, betrayal and mysticism, this is a deliciously dark retelling of legendary proportions - a book of smart, savage beauty that kept me reading long into the night ― Josh Winning, author of THE SHADOW GLASS

Rich with mythology, this twisty adventure spins a new story from old - one that will leave you breathless, broken and desperate for more ― Bex Hogan, author of the ISLES OF STORM AND SORROW trilogy

A beautiful, breathtaking adventure through the world of Ancient Greece and the Greek myths. Daughter of Darkness puts a twisty, surprising spin on the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, with plenty of heartache and betrayal, and a trickster heroine who had me rooting for her from the very first line. Now . . . when can I read the next one?! ― Holly Race, author of MIDNIGHT'S TWINS

Deliciously dark, dangerously exciting, absolutely immersive fantasy from two goddesses of storytelling ― Sinéad O'Hart, author of THE EYE OF THE NORTH

Those looking for a dark read will not be disappointed, especially those interested in fantasy and mythology. A concentrated read in which reader interest and involvement never flag. ― Elizabeth Finlayson, The School Librarian
