Ruinsong

"""A lushly written, immersive fantasy tale about how monstrous we're willing to become to protect ourselves -- and how difficult it can be to learn to fight back."" -- Rebecca Schaeffer, author of Not Even Bones ""A darkly shining jewel of a story set in a fascinating new world. This queer romantic fantasy will replay itself in your mind long after you've finished, like an unforgettable melody."" -- Sarah Glenn Marsh, author of the Reign of the Fallen series ""Ruinsong is a symphony of my favorite things: powerful girls, glittering gowns, and falling in love across a divide. Julia Ember's masterful storytelling immerses you in a world of ruthless magic and court politics. Utterly bewitching and emotionally devastating in all the best ways, Ruinsong is a queer fantasy that will captivate the heart and inspire the soul."" -- C.B. Lee, author of Not Your Sidekick ""An engaging fantasy novel that will push readers to draw parallels between the narrative and contemporary events and conflicts and, hopefully, empower them to use their own voices to stand up for what they believe in. -- School Library Journal"
