Bram Stoker Award nominee and USA Today bestselling author Johanna van Veen delivers a chilling sapphic folk horror fantasy, perfect for fans of The VVitch and The Salt Grows Heavy, where faith, desire, and darkness collide beneath the shadow of war.
The year is 1635.
Sister Ursula, a young nun escaping the ruins of her convent, and Elsebeth, a sharp-witted peasant woman, flee through the devastated Bavarian countryside after surviving a brutal encounter with marauding soldiers. In a world scorched by war, survival feels impossible. Everything changes when they discover a sacred relic in the arms of a dying woman: the gilded skull of a saint.
Legend claims that reuniting the saint’s skull with her body will grant a wish.
Driven by desperation and secret desires of their own, Ursula and Elsebeth follow a tattered map across ruined villages and shadowed forests. Yet darkness follows close behind. A necromancer hunts the relic’s power. The saint whispers in the dead of night. As the line between blessing and curse begins to blur, they discover every act of magic carries a cost.
At the end of their journey waits an impossible choice that could tear apart everything they know, or bind them together forever.
