Dylan Farrow è una scrittrice la cui opera è intrisa della sua passione per il fantasy per ragazzi (YA) e del suo attivismo a favore delle sopravvissute ad aggressioni sessuali. La sua scrittura attinge da un'infanzia divisa tra la vivacità di New York City e la tranquillità della campagna del Connecticut, che si manifesta nei mondi ricchi e sviluppati che crea. Dopo aver esplorato altri percorsi professionali, è tornata alla scrittura a tempo pieno, spinta dall'amore per il genere. Il suo romanzo d'esordio offre ai lettori un'accattivante evasione in regni immaginari, combinando elementi magici con una profonda risonanza emotiva.
Seventeen-year-old Shae and her friends journey to the mysterious land of Gondal in search of a dangerous magical book that could alter the fabric of the world, but as they cross the borders, they discover a world ruled not by magic but technology and industry--one fraught with perils of its own.

A stunning debut from activist Dylan Farrow, this powerful feminist fantasy illuminates a society built on silencing and lies. In the land of Montane, language is a form of magic wielded by the male-dominated Bards, leaving others powerless. Seventeen-year-old Shae has long admired the Bards while living in fear of the Blot, a deadly disease that claimed her younger brother. When her mother is found murdered with a golden dagger, a weapon exclusive to the Bards, Shae is thrust into action. Driven by a quest for justice, she journeys to High House for answers. There, the High Lord Cathal offers her the chance to train as a Bard, a tempting opportunity she cannot refuse. As she navigates grueling training under a fierce female Bard and grapples with forbidden feelings for a male Bard with a troubled past, Shae discovers a castle filled with dangerous illusions that guard its secrets. The truth may be closer than it appears, but it requires learning to listen. Farrow masterfully constructs a layered world of dark secrets and presents a fierce protagonist determined to uncover the truth, no matter the cost. A compelling tale that is sure to resonate deeply.
