DAUGHTERS of the CROSSLANDS

FANTASY

A STRANGE and ghostlike woman arrives out of the mists at Senya’s remote doorstep with a shattering plea: her twin brother Raedwin is trapped in the Crosslands between the living and the dead—and Senya is the only one with the power to free him. But blinded by his love for a woman born of the Crosslands itself, has Raedwin become just bait for a larger, more sinister scheme?

Awakening to the plot against her and Raedwin both, Senya must escape across treacherous wilderness—first to safety, and then to uncover whether her brother is among the living, scattered with the dead, or stranded somewhere in between. Time is running out for Senya to fully face the truth of her frightening new abilities before a selfmade undead queen of the Crosslands possesses not just all those around her, but commands a bold new ascendancy at the very core of life itself.
