Wicker Man meets Final Destination in Jennifer Thorne's
atmospheric, unsettling folk horror novel about love, duty, and
community. On the idyllic island of Lute, every seventh summer,
seven people die. No more, no less. Lute and its inhabitants are
blessed, year after year, with good weather, good health, and good
fortune. They live a happy, superior life, untouched by the war
that rages all around them. So it's only fair that every seven
years, on the day of the tithe, the island's gift is honored. Nina
Treadway is new to The Day. A Florida girl by birth, she became a
Lady through her marriage to Lord Treadway, whose family has long
protected the island. Nina's heard about The Day, of course. Heard
about the horrific tragedies, the lives lost, but she doesn't
believe in it. It's all superstitious nonsense. Stories told to
keep newcomers at bay and youngsters in line. Then The Day begins.
And it's a day of nightmares, of grief, of reckoning. But it is
also a day of community. Of survival and strength. Of love, at its
most pure and untamed. When The Day ends, Nina--and Lute--will
never be the same.
