This October, critically acclaimed author Menna van Praag returns to her Sisters
Grimm series with NIGHT OF DEMONS AND SAINTS (Harper Voyager; Trade
Paperback; $17.99; On Sale: October 25, 2022). Fans of Neil Gaiman, Deborah
Harkness, Alice Hoffman, and Naomi Novik will delight in diving into this dark,
stunning read focused on sisterhood, dark magic, and the devastating
consequences of desire...
After the battle with their demon father ends in a devastating
loss, the Grimm sisters are separated. But, now three years later, as their
twenty-first birthday approaches, dark fate brings them together once
more.
For Goldie, this birthday is
overshadowed by sorrow. She cannot forget the outcome of that battle, the
devastating tragedy that has wreaked havoc on her already turbulent waking
life. While her sisters have thrown themselves into their own endeavors, Goldie
has grown distant and inconsolable. Driven by grief, she devises a diabolical
plan using a human sacrifice to resurrect what she has lost.
When Liyana unexpectedly discovers
what Goldie intends to do, she agrees to help if Goldie will try another way,
without sacrificing a life. Returning to Everwhere, they combine their powerful
magic to bring back what Goldie has lost. But something goes terribly wrong,
and Scarlet is showing signs of being possessed by an evil spirit.
With their lives at stake, the
sisters realize they must confront their personal trauma, make amends with the
past, and once again prepare for a demonic fight to come. On the night of their
birthday, battle ensues, and tragedy strikes once more.
Receiving gushing praise from outlets including Publishers
Weekly (“a dark, delicious story”) and Library
Journal (“determined to exalt the powers of the feminine and of
sisterhood”), van Praag’s Sisters Grimm series is a dark,
intriguing world that is bound to blaze a trail in the fantasy storytelling
realm.
