Untethered

nBack from Death we beckon, n nA guide between Life and Faten n nn nLux Thorn is seventeen and the sight of warm blood has caused panic since she was eight. It's half the reason she prefers her bodies hours postmortem. With the rare ability to paint the bodies of the dead and bring them back to life, she's achieved the title of Necromancer in the harsh city of Ghadra. Sequestered between an impassable marsh and a devouring forest, the town is both eerie and merciless. But when bodies are suddenly being piled into carts, marked with a mysterious contagion and fed to the trees, Lux fears her home may finally be rotting.n nTorn between the desire to flee or give in to the whispers seeping from the wood, Lux realizes her best chance of survival is an alliance with a dangerous vigilante. One who blames her for the horror plaguing their city, but who also might have the key to its end. Except more than one ruinous force is at work here, and Lux must learn how swiftly revenge can turn corrupt and promises, no matter how enticing, can fall to betrayal.n n nn nFor fans of One Dark Window, A Far Wilder Magic, and Belladonna, Untethered is the first book in the Dark Brilliance Duology, a YA gothic fantasy romance that follows a young necromancer as she investigates a mysterious contagion infecting her harsh city. While also navigating a sentient forest, sworn enemies, and endless secrets, Untethered explores themes of grief, guilt and healing in an atmosphere as eerie as it is merciless. Welcome to Ghadra.n
