Lovers of dark, high-octane adventure will be enthralled by Sarah Harian's Eight Will Fall, a genre-bending YA fantasy standalone, perfect for fans of Kendare Blake and Leigh Bardugo.
In a world where magic is illegal, eight criminals led by rebellious Larkin are sent on a mission to rid their realm of an ancient evil lurking beneath the surface. Descending into a world full of unspeakable horrors, Larkin and her crew must use their forbidden magic to survive.
As they fight in the shadows, Larkin finds a light in Amias, a fellow outlaw with a notorious past. Soon, Larkin and Amias realize that their destinies are intertwined. The eight of them were chosen for a reason.
But as the beasts grow in number and her band is picked off one by one, Larkin is forced to confront a terrible truth: They were never meant to return.
"A group of people with divergent personalities fighting to survive a world-ending heist together tempts comparisons to Leigh Bardugo's stunning Grishaverse books."
Booklist
"As gut-wrenching as it is deliciously eerie, Harian spins a tale of betrayal, loss, and the powerful notion of using emotions to become your true self."
Sara Wolf, New York Times-bestselling author of Bring Me Their Hearts
