Description
Can love conquer the dead?
When child soldier Silvie loses her magic and part of her hearing, her life as she knew it is over. Sent to the far-away canal city of Arteria to be an alchemist’s apprentice, she is forced to begin again.
Azura, the alchemist’s daughter, has always lived among Arteria’s wealthiest and most comfortable. She and Silvie couldn’t be more different, and yet the two are drawn to one another, each trapped by the circumstances of their birth.
But Arteria is plagued by the high cost of its magic use: the cadaveri, walking corpses that prey on the living. When the city comes under unprecedented threat, can Silvie and Azura save it? Do they even want to?
Advance Praise
“Beautiful and macabre, Borsellino weaves a darkly spellbinding tale of sapphic love in a world where the dead aren’t always gone. The Hollow Witch will keep you turning the pages deep into the night.”– C.S. Pacat, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Rise
“This is a wild, magical, powerful story; a force to be reckoned with. Our queer disabled heroine may live in a world of zombies and witches, but like our own it’s also rife with corruption, oppression & violence. Can love, friendship & hope survive in such a place? The Hollow Witch dares us to imagine what ending we’d choose for this story, and perhaps even our own world… red fan, or white?” – Jess Walton, author of Stonewall Book Awards Honour Book Stars in Their Eyes
