LOVE SPEAKS IN FLOWERS, TRUTH REQUIRES THORNS. Travel to a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, of haunted towns and hungry woods, of talking beasts and gingerbread golems, where a young mermaid's voice can summon deadly storms and where a river might do a lovestruck boy's bidding, but only for a terrible price. Inspired by myths, folklore and fairy tale, Leigh Bardugo has crafted a deliciously atmospheric collection of stories filled with betrayals, revenge, sacrifice and love.
