Something Dark and Holy

Vicki Lame at Wednesday Books has bought, in a three-book deal, Emily Duncan's debut YA fantasy, Something Dark and Holy. Pitched as a gothic Joan of Arc, the book features two countries locked in a holy war, and the peasant girl who can speak to the gods who must find a way to work with a deadly adversary, a heretical blood mage and heir apparent of the enemy kingdom, to turn the tide of the war and assassinate the mad king. Publication is slated for 2019; Thao Le at the Dijkstra Agency negotiated the deal for world English rights.
