“A dark jewel of a story, one that gleams with fierce, cunning
characters—absolutely riveting.” —Alexandra Bracken, #1 New York
Times bestselling author of Passenger
“Kiersten White at her absolute best. The epic story will thrill
you, the Transylvanian setting will transport you, and the
characters (especially the fierce, take-no-prisoners Lada) will
capture your heart. Don’t miss it.” —Cynthia Hand, New York Times
bestselling author of the Unearthly series
“Sweeping and epic, AND I DARKEN is a gender-bent take on history
that gives us a fierce and brutal heroine, a fascinating time
period, and a beautifully intelligent look at love, family, and
power. I loved every twisty, bloody moment of it!” —Rachel Hawkins,
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author
“As richly complex and glittering as the Ottoman Empire
itself, AND I DARKEN is daring in its scope and brilliantly
executed. The fiercely dark Lada is a razor-edged sword tempered in
the blood of family betrayals and the fire of her own passions. I
was instantly and utterly smitten. She haunted me long after I
turned the final page and left me craving more.” —Robin
LaFevers, New York Times bestselling author of the His Fair
Assassin series
“A jewel of a book—a jewel embedded in the hilt of a blood-soaked
sword. A brilliantly envisioned alternate history that is
meticulously detailed but compulsively readable, this is a story I
could not put down. I demand the sequel like Lada demands
Wallachia!” —Beth Revis, New York Times bestselling author of
the Across the Universe series
"An intense, risky, passionate novel that dragged me through love
and danger with the force of its heroine’s heart and the power of
its hero’s faith.” —Tessa Gratton, author of the Gods of New Asgard
series
“Girls with teeth and priorities. I want to read this book
forever.” —E. K. Johnston, author of A Thousand Nights
★ "Full of sword fights, assassination plots, and palace
intrigues, this novel is ambitious in scope and concept and reveals
a fascinating, important, and somewhat obscure slice of history…the
novel is breathtakingly good.” —School Library
Journal starred review
★ "White deftly weaves historical fact into
this complex concoction of love, war, politics, homosexuality,
religion, loyalty, and friendship." —Booklist starred
review
"White excels at presenting an anti-hero who contrasts conventional
female heroines. Readers expecting a typical love triangle tale
will be surprised, for Lada’s characterization is executed in a
far-from-stereotypical manner as White challenges femininity and
explores the types of power women can wield. White also succeeds in
crafting an accessible setting that brings complex historical
figures to life."--VOYA
