From the acclaimed author of DEFY, Sara B. Larson, SISTERS OF SHADOW AND LIGHT is a timeless and fantastical tale of sisterly love and powerful magic.
"The night my sister was born, the stars died and were reborn in her eyes…".
Zuhra and Inara have grown up in the Citadel of the Paladins, an abandoned fortress where legendary, magical warriors once lived before disappearing from the world?including their Paladin father the night Inara was born.
On that same night, a massive, magical hedge grew and imprisoned them within the citadel. Inara inherited their father’s Paladin power; her eyes glow blue and she is able to make plants grow at unbelievable rates, but she has been trapped in her own mind because of a “roar” that drowns everything else out?leaving Zuhra virtually alone with their emotionally broken human mother.
For fifteen years they have lived, trapped in the citadel, with little contact from the outside world…until the day a stranger passes through the hedge, and everything changes.
3 Reasons You Should Read…
Sisters of Shadow and Light by Sara B Larson
- We love all things Sara B. Larson, especially the Defy series. Honestly, we will be reading anything she writes.
- This gives us a little bit of Frozen / Sleeping Beauty vibes. We love books that feature sisterly bonds, and we can’t wait to read the world-building here.
- We are all about knights in shining armor, and aren’t Paladins just the best? Leave it to Larson to turn the hero on its axis again and give us a fierce female (or two) that we can totally root for.
