Description: "After discovering she's a witch and being whisked away to the magical land of Crenshaw, Ellie wants nothing more than to spend time with her new wife, Prospero, who has magically altered Ellie's memories to convince her of exactly that. Prospero herself is guilt-wracked after erasing Ellie's memories and being forced into a sham marriage with the woman she loves for real. But Crenshaw is dying, poisoned by Prospero's enemies who want their community to return to the human world, and she will do anything to save it. The most powerful witch in anyone's memory is in Prospero's home, in her bed, with no idea that she's a prisoner there ... yet. As the very fabric of their world is being destroyed, Ellie and Prospero must find a way to work together and save the world, and themselves."--Provided by publisher.

Well-drawn characters and their dramatic interactions keep the tale loose and lively." --Publishers Weekly "Marr does a great job with the mythology of her new world, her prose is as seamless as ever, and if the events described above weren't enough, she slips in a half-dozen or so other subplots that only enrich the main storyline that much more." --The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction "Melissa Marr has the rare talent of making deeply weird things seem perfectly normal, and making perfectly normal things seem deeply weird." --io9 "No one builds worlds like Melissa Marr." --Charlaine Harris, New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series "If anyone can put the goth in Southern Gothic, it's Melissa Marr." --NPR
