LUCY UNDYING X FOR THE WOLF

Ginevra was remade to be a weapon. But inside, something thorned and grieving is breaking free.

Half Sick of Shadows is a gothic where horror never comes from characters' identities. Modern audience shouldn't find diversity scary! Instead, horror comes from the wealth inequality, environmental issues, & medical field hurdles of the 19th cent that remain relevant today. #DVPit #H #A #DIS #LGBT

To destroy the death cult that killed her, Ginevra must first survive the body they’d see unmade. But when a woman from her past begins to recognize her, she learns that vengeance and love demand the same thing: truth.
