Acerca de esta escucha
A young woman is found, emaciated and unconscious, in the mountains surrounding a village in Transylvania. When the villagers discover she is of the same ethnic group that was driven out of the region years before, they are reminded of their part in the bloodshed, and old wounds reopen. While the story unfolds in the microcosm of small village in the past, its themes are universal and timeless: the fear of the outsider, the supernatural versus the natural, and the force of desire between a man and a woman.
"This novel stays with the reader, resounding in the daily news where the fear of what is not understood soon transforms into dogmatism and intolerance." (Dr. Dawn-Michelle Baude, Huffington Post)
"This book is poetic and timeless and shows exactly why VIvienne Vermes is an award-winning novelist and poet. It will become a classic of European literature." (Martin S., What's Books)
"I would not just recommend this book. I would shout it from the rooftops." (Stephanie Geary, Writing from the Heart)

Seventeen-year-old Aderyn ("Ryn") only cares about two things: her family and her family's graveyard. And right now, both are in dire straits. Since the death of their parents, Ryn and her siblings have been scraping together a meager existence as gravediggers in the remote village of Colbren, which sits at the foot of a harsh and deadly mountain range that was once home to the fae. The problem with being a gravedigger in Colbren, though, is that the dead don't always stay dead.

Isaiah was Samuel's and Samuel was Isaiah's. That was the way it was since the beginning, and the way it was to be until the end. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. But when an older man - a fellow slave - seeks to gain favor by preaching the master's gospel on the plantation, the enslaved begin to turn on their own.
