For fans of Asylum Anna Dressed in Blood and The Haunting of Sunshine Girl comes a new feminist horror novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Mary: The Summoning. Five boys attacked her. Now they must repay her with their blood and flesh. Bethan is the apprentice to a green healer named Drina in a clan of Welsh Romanies. Her life is happy and ordered and modest as required by Roma custom except for one thing: Silas the son of the chieftain has been secretly harassing her. One night Silas and his friends brutally assault Bethan and a half-Roma friend Martyn. As empty and hopeless as she feels from the attack she asks Drina to bring Martyn back from deaths door. There is always a price for this kind of magic Drina warns. The way to save him is gruesome. Bethan must collect grisly pieces to fuel the spell: an ear some hair an eye a nose and fingers. She gives the boys who assaulted her a chance to come forward and apologize. And when they dont she knows exactly where to collect her ingredients to save Martyn.
