Description
In an isolated village, girls are banished at sixteen to the northern forest, where they must brave the wilderness and each other for a year. They are told they possess dangerous magic that can lure grown men from their beds, make boys lose their minds and drive wives mad with jealousy. Before returning to civilisation purified and ready to marry, if they are lucky, the girls must rid themselves of this magic. Tierney James does not feel powerful or magical, but the forbidden grace year is approaching, and every girl knows it will change them if they survive. This page-turning feminist dystopia follows a young woman in an oppressive society as she fights to take control of her own life.
