Description
The Composition of a Crow is a dark and gripping modern retelling of the Greek myth of Apollo and the crow, where trauma, manipulation, and self-discovery collide.
Lora, known only as “little crow” to her nameless captor, has endured years of abuse until she finally reaches her breaking point — and kills him. But freedom remains elusive, as she is haunted by his ghost and forced to confront the psychological scars he left behind.
Obsessed with Eleanor, a woman whose strange behaviour echoes her own past, Lora uncovers disturbing parallels, suspecting that Eleanor may be trapped in the same cycle of abuse. Lora’s emotional journey becomes a tense battle as she navigates the line between love and manipulation, empathy and envy — all while grappling with her past and the choices that lie ahead.
Blurring the boundaries between reality and the supernatural, The Composition of a Crow takes readers deep into the psyche of a woman fighting to piece her life back together, all the while haunted by the eerie sense that her fate may already be sealed…
