The Deathless Girls

Lil and her twin sister Kizzy expect their divining day to reveal the shape of their futures. Before it can arrive, they are captured, separated from their traveller community and forced into service at Boyar Valcar’s castle. The kitchen offers little comfort, but Lil finds an unexpected connection with Mira, another enslaved girl. Her growing feelings exist alongside an increasingly frightening discovery: beyond the castle’s immediate cruelties lies the Dragon, a figure to whom girls are sent as gifts. With their old lives taken from them, the sisters must face a fate no ceremony could have prepared them for. This gothic reimagining gives the brides of Dracula histories, attachments and fears of their own.
