Her fate may be darker and more powerful than she can imagine"--Back cover.Book Synopsis

Review Quotes
A Library Journal Editor's Pick! A Den of Geeks Best Books of 2021!
Winner of the Pulver AwardAn Ignyte Award Finalist "Gorgeously written."--Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author "Rocklyn is angry, lyrical, honest, and heartbreaking, riding the line between fantasy and true horror." --Catherynne M. Valente, New York Times bestselling author "A name to watch."--The Washington Post "Rocklyn's lyrical gothic fantasy debut considers how life can persist in a world of rot, death, and destruction. . . . [They] conjure Iraxi's precarious position in fluid, lovely prose." --Publishers Weekly "This novella will whet the appetite of fans of classics like Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby, P. D. James' The Children of Men, and Octavia Butler's Bloodchild." --Booklist "A lush, mesmerizing novella about survival and the hope of righteous anger. An auspicious debut baring beauty and razorfangs." --Paul Tremblay, New York Times Bestselling author "A gorgeous, powerful debut. . . . You don't want to miss it." --Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author "Rocklyn manages to write a darkly spectacular, yet strangulating world in the middle of the sea, with well-developed characters, vivid imagery, and dense lyrical prose....This claustrophobic story had me reeling as the tension rose until I reached the impressive ending."--Cemetery Dance "Zin E. Rocklyn's extraordinary debut is a lush, gothic fantasy about the prices we pay and the vengeance we seek."--The Quiet Pond
