Description
'I'll be killed for telling this story. It's been seen. I've been warned. But I'm telling it anyway . . . '
PRE-ORDER THE GENRE-BENDING AND EPIC TALE STEEPED IN FOLKLORE, REBELLION AND MAGIC, FROM EXCITING NEW DEBUT AUTHOR, RAELLE TUCKER.
--
A hidden island. A forbidden act. A story that could destroy everything.
On the island of Obscura, magical beings, long persecuted by humans, live in secret, hidden in plain sight beneath a hedonistic tourist paradise.
Artemis is a teenage centaur raised to fear humans. But when she breaks sacred law to save a dying boy, she sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to expose her world.
As she uncovers a buried history of survival, secrecy and self-erasure - and a prophecy bound to her own life - Artemis begins collecting the stories her people have fought to forget.
Because stories are power. And some truths were never meant to be told.
Bold, provocative and intoxicating, Obscura is a genre-defying fantasy about desire, identity and the cost of freedom - where myth collides with modernity, and nothing stays hidden forever.
