Hush

Więcej o książce

A stunning debut from activist Dylan Farrow, this powerful feminist fantasy illuminates a society built on silencing and lies. In the land of Montane, language is a form of magic wielded by the male-dominated Bards, leaving others powerless. Seventeen-year-old Shae has long admired the Bards while living in fear of the Blot, a deadly disease that claimed her younger brother. When her mother is found murdered with a golden dagger, a weapon exclusive to the Bards, Shae is thrust into action. Driven by a quest for justice, she journeys to High House for answers. There, the High Lord Cathal offers her the chance to train as a Bard, a tempting opportunity she cannot refuse. As she navigates grueling training under a fierce female Bard and grapples with forbidden feelings for a male Bard with a troubled past, Shae discovers a castle filled with dangerous illusions that guard its secrets. The truth may be closer than it appears, but it requires learning to listen. Farrow masterfully constructs a layered world of dark secrets and presents a fierce protagonist determined to uncover the truth, no matter the cost. A compelling tale that is sure to resonate deeply.
