Steeped in Greek mythology and full of such endearing characters, Daughter of Darkness is a richly detailed and enthralling start to an irresistibly magical new Duology from the authors of A Throne of Swans, Katherine and Elizabeth Corr.“Sing, O muse, a song of Death”
In a desperate bid to evade her future as a soul severer (and gain her freedom), Deina embarks on a deadly quest to the underworld to retrieve the soul of Eurydice, wife of Orpheus the tyrant king. But in order to succeed she must team up with a group fellow soul severers she neither likes or trusts.
The journey into the realm of Hades is perilous and the price of freedom is before her….but what will it take to reach it?
This was such an enjoyable (and rather addictive) read! The worldbuilding was so rich and incredibly detailed that I found myself immersed in this ancient landscape of gods, monsters and tyrant kings. It’s a loosely based reimagining of the Orpheus and Eurydice tale and I found it really intriguing. I loved how action packed and plot twisty it was and the characters we encounter were all so exquisitely crafted. There were soo many likeable characters too (my faves were Deina and Drex but I really liked Theron and Nat as well.)
