Description

Inspired by Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, Black Spring reimagines the passionate story in a fantasy 19th century society sustained by wizardry and the vengeance code of vendetta. Anna spent her childhood with Damek and her volatile foster sister Lina, daughter of the Lord of the village. Lina has magical powers, and in this brutal patriarchal society women with magical powers are put to death as babies. Lina’s father, however, refuses to kill her but when vendetta explodes in their village and Lina’s father dies, their lives are changed forever. Their new guardian Masko sends Anna away and reduces Lina to the status of a servant. Damek—mad with love for Lina—attempts to murder Masko, then vanishes for several years. Anna comes home five years later to find Lina about to marry a pleasant young farmer, and witnesses Damek’s vengeful return and its catastrophic consequences. Passionate, atmospheric and haunting, Black Spring will stay with readers long after they turn the final page.
