A dark, contemporary interpretation of the Persephone myth for fans
of The Invisible Life of Addie Larue and The Sandman. Death stole
Emilia - the first time in his very long life that he hasn't
carried over the soul he was assigned to carry over. It would be
romantic, except that they're being hunted. And as Emilia and the
man with the veil of smoke set out for the ocean in a stolen truck,
there is a bloody handprint on his neck and she’s beginning to
worry it's hers. Illustrated in competing points of view, narration
comes from both Death and Amelia, giving the story conflicting, yet
unique perspectives. Two Graves is the first volume of a new series
from writer Genevieve Valentine and illustrated by Annie Wu and
Ming Doyle. This edition features bonus backmatter content,
including essays by bestselling Broken Earth trilogy author N.K.
Jemisin, Sarah McCarry (Lambda, Norton, and Tiptree
nominee), Veronica Schanoes (Shirley Jackson Award winner,
Nebula, and World Fantasy nominee), and Stephanie Lai (Best New
Talent Ditmar Award, 2018).
"Dressed up in the thrill and sparkle of the Roaring Twenties, the
classic fairy tale of 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses' has never
been more engrossing or delightful. Valentine's fresh, original
style and choice of setting make this a fairy tale reimagining not
to be missed" (Library Journal, starred review). Jo, the firstborn,
"The General" to her eleven sisters, is the only thing the Hamilton
girls have in place of a mother. She is the one who taught them how
to dance, the one who gives the signal each night, as they slip out
of the confines of their father's Manhattan townhouse and into the
cabs that will take them to the speakeasy. Together they elude
their distant and controlling father, until the day he decides to
marry them all off. The girls, meanwhile, continue to dance, from
Salon Renaud to the Swan and, finally, the Kingfisher, the club
they've come to call home. They dance until one night when they are
caught in a raid, separated, and Jo is thrust face-to-face with
someone from her past: a bootlegger named Tom whom she hasn't seen
in almost ten years. Suddenly Jo must balance not only the needs of
her father and eleven sisters, but her own as well. With The Girls
at the Kingfisher Club, award-winning writer Genevieve Valentine
takes her superb storytelling gifts to new heights, joining the
leagues of such Jazz Age depicters as Amor Towles and Paula McLain,
and penning a dazzling tale about love, sisterhood, and freedom.
