About In the Ravenous Dark

For YA readers who love dark mythology-inspired fantasy with queer romance, morally complex magic systems, and a heroine who is dangerous to everyone around her. Rovan's blood magic attracts monsters and marks her for death in a society that sacrifices magic users to the gods. When she is instead bound to a royal guardian spirit, she must navigate a court full of secrets and a conspiracy that could unravel the divine order. A.M. Strickland builds a vividly realized world inspired by ancient Greece, threading genuine stakes and a queer romance through a plot full of political intrigue and danger.
