Rachel Grayson: The Mourning Lily, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Does blood make a hero?

A professional fighter, Tuesday Graves has built her life around a simple principle: don't let

anyone come close enough to hurt you. It's a rule she applies to her personal life too.

Surviving on the margins of a decaying city, she fights for money and keeps the world at

arm's length. Then the one person she loves, the only one she trusts, hands her over to

Mattox, the leader of a militant sect chasing the power of the Ancients.

Held captive for months, then subjected to a genetic experiment, Tuesday changes. So do

four other prisoners who shared her fate. With new abilities, new instincts, and no way back

to their old lives, the group manage to escape - only to find themselves struggling to

understand what they've become and what, if anything, they owe a world that never

protected them.

Tense, melancholic, and ultimately hopeful, The Mourning Lily is a science

fantasy adventure brimming with themes of found family, feminine rage, and heroes who

grapple with putting themselves first, or last.
