Produktbeschreibung
Fans of Erin A. Craig and Dana Schwartz will love this atmospheric, haunting, romantasy inspired by Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility about sisters vying to hold on to their manor, set in a Regency England with monsters prowling at its perimeters. Merrick Darling's life as the daughter of the Manor Lord of Sussex is better than most. Unlike the commoners, she is immune to the fog that encroached on England generations earlier. She will never become a phantom--one of the monstrous creatures that stalk her province’s borders; and as long as the fires burn to hold them back, her safety is assured. She wants for nothing, and yet she will never inherit her family's manor. She must marry smartly or live at her sister, Essie's, kindness.  Everything is turned on its head, though, when Merrick's father dies, suddenly. Merrick must return home and what she discovers at Norland Manor is bewildering. Once strong and capable, Essie is withdrawn and frightened—and for good cause. A recent string of attacks along her province’s borders have turned their once bucolic countryside into a terrifying and unpredictable landscape. The fog is encroaching and the fires aren’t holding, which makes Merrick and Essie vulnerable in more ways than one. Failure to protect one’s province could lead to them losing everything. Merrick knows she can't reveal their current state to the rest of England, but when her sister goes missing it's clear she needs help. Only who can she trust when everyone seems to be scheming for something. And when all she holds to be true feels like its slipping right out of her grasp.
