Deina is trapped. As one of the Soul Severers serving the god Hades on earth, her future is tied to the task of shepherding the dying on from the mortal world - unless she can earn or steal enough to buy her way out.

Then the tyrant ruler Orpheus offers both fortune and freedom to whoever can retrieve his dead wife, Eurydice, from the Underworld. Deina jumps at the chance. But to win, she must enter an uneasy alliance with a group of fellow Severers she neither likes nor trusts.

So begins their perilous journey into the realm of Hades. . . The prize of freedom is before her - but what will it take to reach it?

From the authors of A THRONE OF SWANS and A CROWN OF TALONS comes a stunning new YA duology set in a world inspired by the mythology of ancient Greece.

Perfect for fans of Alexandra Bracken's LORE and Jessie Burton's MEDUSA.

Katharine and Elizabeth Corr are sisters originally from Essex, now living in Surrey. When they both decided to write novels - on account of fictional people being much easier to deal with than real ones - it was obvious they should do it together. They can sometimes be found in one of their local coffee shops, arguing over which character to kill off next. Katharine and Elizabeth are authors of the enthralling A Throne of Swans duology and the spell-binding trilogy The Witch's Kiss.

Reviews for Daughter of Darkness (#1 House of Shadows)

I was lost to this exquisitely crafted world. Daughter of Darkness is everything I want in a fantasy and more * Mary Watson, author of BLOOD TO POISON * Steeped in blood, betrayal and mysticism, this is a deliciously dark retelling of legendary proportions - a book of smart, savage beauty that kept me reading long into the night * Josh Winning, author of THE SHADOW GLASS * Rich with mythology, this twisty adventure spins a new story from old - one that will leave you breathless, broken and desperate for more * Bex Hogan, author of the ISLES OF STORM AND SORROW trilogy * A beautiful, breathtaking adventure through the world of Ancient Greece and the Greek myths. Daughter of Darkness puts a twisty, surprising spin on the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, with plenty of heartache and betrayal, and a trickster heroine who had me rooting for her from the very first line. Now . . . when can I read the next one?! * Holly Race, author of MIDNIGHT'S TWINS * Deliciously dark, dangerously exciting, absolutely immersive fantasy from two goddesses of storytelling * Sinéad O'Hart, author of THE EYE OF THE NORTH *
