A puppet master wielding a dark curse.

A boy made of shadows.

And a girl who must sever the strings and set her sisters free...

Emberlyn is a Marionette - one of a troupe of hauntingly beautiful girls who have been cursed to perform until they turn to dust...

When another one of her sisters falls, Emberlyn decides she must fight back against their Puppet Master and free them from this violent dance.

Whisked away to a new theatre, Emberlyn seizes the chance to escape, but instead brings dark secrets and a boy made of shadows to light...

As her strings tighten, Emberlyn realizes the only way to break free is to end the Puppet Master once and for all. Except tearing the life out of his veins might destroy the Marionettes too...

Girls of Dark Divine is an enthralling debut Gothic fantasy, laced with dark magic, electrifying romance and burning rage, perfect for fans of Adalyn Grace and Stephanie Garber, with shades of Black Swan.
