Instant Number One New York Times Best Seller
From the critically acclaimed author of Lore comes a stunning contemporary fantasy inspired by Celtic lore—the tale of a teenage girl who seeks her destiny in the cursed ruins of Avalon, driven by love, revenge, and pure adrenaline!
"Simmering with magic, peril, romance, and heartbreak." —Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shadow and Bone
Born without a trace of magic, Tamsin Lark is no match for the sorceresses and Hollowers who populate the magical underground of Boston. But when the only parent she’s ever known disappears without so much as a goodbye, she has no choice but to join in their cutthroat pursuit of enchanted relics to keep herself—and her brother, Cabell—alive.
Ten years later, rumors are swirling that her guardian found a powerful ring from Arthurian legend just before he vanished. A run-in with her rival Emrys ignites Tamsin’s hope that the ring could free Cabell from a curse that threatens both of them. But they aren’t the only ones who covet the ring.
As word spreads, greedy Hollowers start circling, and many would kill to have it for themselves. While Emrys is the last person Tamsin would choose to partner with, she needs all the help she can get to edge out her competitors in the race for the ring. Together, they dive headfirst into a vipers’ nest of dark magic, exposing a deadly secret with the power to awaken ghosts of the past and shatter her last hope of saving her brother....

I LOVED THIS. Arthurian legend with a twist.

I really like the world here and it's basis in Arthurian legend. If anything I would have loved more direct ties into that lore. I like the factions presented, the Hollowers essentially mercenary treasure hunters, the sisters, sorcerers, druids etc. Each are compelling and I want more backstory and info on each. I enjoyed the individual characters well enough but I kind of felt like character arcs\growth were a mixed bag in this one. My frustration mostly came from a sense of two steps forward 3 steps back type of situation. Knowing this is a first book in a series though I'll be curious to how this averages out in the long run.
I enjoyed the central mystery and the mystery in conflict really ramp up and take off during the last third of the book or so. The ending however is why I gave this 3 stars vs 4. I really dislike heavy handed cliff hangers in books. I want to come away feeling satisfied with each entry in a series not just wanting the next one so I can get my proper wrap up. Here things just seemed to rush to an end that while awesome in a bunch of ways felt super abrupt to me.
Narration was great, It pulled me in and kept me in the story as a good narrator should. Each character has a unique voice and the narrator does just does an all around great job here.
Will I read the next one? Definitely! That said I came away slightly unsatisfied as a whole with this as a self contained story. Had this not ended on a frustrating cliff hanger it would easily be one of my favorites reads of the year so far.

what I loved: Arthurian inspiration. it is by no means a retelling but uses elements within the Arthurian tale to lemd support to this contemporary fantasy. it is full of sorceresses, priestesses, magic, curses and death. the characters have good development and have layers of complexity that I enjoy. the world building is done well and the ending is definitely a cliffhanger. i am excited for book 2 and really hope there are more than Tamsin's POV.

Hijinks.
Tamsin and Cabell Lark’s guardian went missing while searching for Arthurian relic that could break Cabell’s curse. Left with only each other, Tamsin and Cabell follow in their guardian’s footsteps, desperate to find a cure for Cabell until they catch a lead from a hag of the exact relic their guardian was looking for. But there are other people after the relic, one of which being her rival, handsome young Emrys. Following the path of her guardian, Tamsin finds herself in Avalon, a pastoral society under threat, confronting the corpse of her guardian, and the dead end of her last hope.
… Until the Nine Sisters of Avalon reveal a purification rite that would break every curse on the island. With this new path to her brother’s salvation, Tamsin is ready to face an army of the dead and their revenant leader, all to save the island and Cabell.
I really enjoyed a King Arthur story that focused more on the people around Arthur than on Arthur himself. I also really liked seeing Avalon post-Arthur, and how their society might have survived after they left our reality. I did have a few grumbles about the ending, but they’re personal quabbles. I still enjoyed it overall.
