Young Adult Paranormal
From the acclaimed author of PLAIN KATE, a new novel about
what lurks in the shadows, and how to put it to rest... In the world of SORROW'S KNOT, the dead do not rest easy.
Every patch of shadow might be home to something hungry,
something deadly. Most of the people of this world live on
the sunlit, treeless prairies. But a few carve out an uneasy
living in the forest towns, keeping the dead at bay with
wards made from magically knotted cords. The women who tie
these knots are called binders. And Otter's mother, Willow,
is one of the greatest binders her people have ever known. But Willow does not wish for her daughter to lead the
lonely, heavy life of a binder, so she chooses another as
her apprentice. Otter is devastated by this choice, and
what's more, it leaves her untrained when the village falls
under attack. In a moment of desperation, Otter casts her
first ward, and the results are disastrous. But now Otter
may be her people's only hope against the shadows that
threaten them. Will the challenge be too great for her? Or
will she find a way to put the dead to rest once and for
all?
