An ethereal fantasy from the editorial team behind the New York Times bestselling series The Ancient Magus\' Bride.
In a land far away, there were two kingdoms: the Outside, where twisted beasts roamed that could curse with a touch, and the Inside, where humans lived in safety and peace.
How can it be possible? And what of the Insiders, and the revelation from their Holy Father? His divine words portend trouble for Shiva and Teacher alike....
Yet somehow, even touched by that blight, she remains human.
This is a story of two people - one human, one inhuman - who linger in the hazy twilight that separates night from day.
The Accursed ChildWhat Teacher feared most if true - the child Shiva has been afflicted with the curse of the Outsiders.
The Girl and the beast should never have met, but when they do, a quiet fairytale begins.
