Beating fiercely within its gilded cage, the dark heart of this brilliant and sinister reimagining will haunt you long after you close its pages."—Mara Rutherford, author of A Multitude of Dreams
"Death and life interweave in this lush, glittering fairytale, showing us that they maybe aren’t so opposed. Erin Craig’s The Thirteenth Child is a masterful story that suspends time—and makes us think about how valuable it is."—Autumn Krause, author of Before the Devil Knows You're Here
