From beloved authors Leah Thomas and Kali Wallace comes a sweeping dark queer YA romantasy, inspired by Icelandic folklore, about a witch and shepherd boy who find love in the darkest of places. Hrafn has seen too much. He welcomes death as the flames lick at the staves carved into his skin. Until a stranger pulls him out. Siggi has never left his village. He longs to go in search of his missing brother. Perhaps that's why he pulls the witch boy from the fire. Bound by a blade of bone and indebted to the village boy, Hrafn agrees to use his powerful magic to help the oaf who saved him from the pyre. Across (and sometimes under) a rugged and unforgiving landscape, the unlikely pair will travel in search of answers, crossing paths with druids, darkwolves, and the dreaded Huldu. But when the deceptions of the past are peeled away, Siggi and Hrafn will come face to face with their true natures. When the cost of magic is pain and family ties run bone deep, can an unlikely love blossom in a dark and dangerous world?
