    Those who drink the water shall thirst for blood. They shall be as wild beasts. 
    A blood curse is consuming the Seven Kingdoms. Only one man can stop it—fugitive Osgaardan prince, Harkeld. But Harkeld has a bounty on his head and assassins at his heels. Guarded by Sentinel mages, pursued by Fithian assassins, Prince Harkeld begins the most perilous stage of his journey: entering the cursed kingdom of Sault. 
    But the mages aren't the only travelers heading east. Princess Brigitta, abducted by Fithian assassins, is also bound for Sault—unless she can escape. And in close pursuit is her loyal armsman, Karel. 
    Young orphan, Jaumé, is also headed for Sault, where he will be forced to make decisions that will change the fate of the Seven Kingdoms forever.

    Eternity consumed the local sun three galactic turns ago. 
     
     
     
    In its place is an accretion disk, people cast two shadows, and life can only exist in Circles formed by gigantic light-bearing Trees. Beyond them are icy chill and Darkness, and on the border between them, Shadow, the land of everlasting sunset. 
     
     
     
    It is the domain of strange creatures and unusual plants that have never seen light, a place teeming with Worms whose only purpose is to devour every living thing, while the few sentients only care about putting you into slave's shackles. 
     
     
     
    To return to the Earth freehold, I will have to brave the Shadowlands on my own. Well, not quite, but the White Devil who took over my body can do things that make even the locals' blood run cold. 
     
     
     
    But I think I'm starting to get it. Kill first, or you'll die first. Only dead men can keep secrets. Strike before speaking. 
     
     
     
    Oh, and there's one thing he keeps telling me over and over.

    The story is presented by Le Fanu as part of the casebook of Dr Hesselius, whose departures from medical orthodoxy rank him as the first occult doctor in literature. The story is narrated by Laura, one of the two main protagonists of the tale. 
    Laura begins her tale by relating her childhood in a "picturesque and solitary" castle in the midst of an extensive forest in Styria where she lives with her father, a wealthy English widower, retired from the Austrian Service. When she is six years old, Laura has a vision of a beautiful visitor in her bedchamber. She later claims to have been bitten on the chest, although no wounds are found on her. 
    12 years later, Laura and her father are admiring the sunset in front of the castle when her father tells her of a letter he received earlier from his friend General Spielsdorf. The General was supposed to bring his niece, Bertha Rheinfeldt, to visit the two, but the niece suddenly died under mysterious circumstances. The General ambiguously concludes that he will discuss the circumstances in detail when they meet later.

    NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE GUARDIAN, THE SUNDAY TIMES, AND THE FINANCIAL TIMES 
     
     
     
    A searing debut set in a modern India simmering with the tension of growing religious intolerance 
     
     
     
    Teetapur, an unassuming village just a few hours outside of bustling Delhi, is famous for nothing—until one of its children, eight-year-old Munia, is found dead, hanging from the branch of a Jamun tree. 
     
     
     
    In the largely Hindu village, suspicion quickly falls on an itinerant Muslim man, Mansoor. Suspicion ignites like wildfire, fueled by religious tensions that simmer beneath the surface. 
     
     
     
    The responsibility of uncovering the elusive truth—and prevent the lynching of the prime suspect—now rests on the weary shoulders of Sub-Inspector Ombir Singh. With only one other officer beneath him, and just a single working revolver between them, can he bring justice to a grieving father and an angry village—or will Teetapur demand vengeance instead? 
     
     
     
    Offering listeners a gripping mystery and a sweeping state-of-the-nation saga, Black River stands as a searing critique of modern India, weaving an intricate narrative that captures the essence of a nation grappling with its own complexities and contradictions.
