Overview

"When Among Crows is swift and striking, drawing from the deep well of Slavic folklore and asking if redemption and atonement can be found in embracing what we most fear. We bear the sword, and we bear the pain of the sword. Pain is Dymitr's calling. His family is one in a long line of hunters who sacrifice their souls to slay monsters. Now he's tasked with a deadly mission: find the legendary witch Baba Jaga. To reach her, Dymitr must ally with the ones he's sworn to kill. Pain is Ala's inheritance. A fear-eating zmora with little left to lose, Ala awaits death from the curse she carries. When Dymitr offers her a cure in exchange for her help, she has no choice but to agree. Together they must fight against time and the wrath of the Chicago underworld. But Dymitr's secrets--and his true motives--may be the thing that actually destroys them. ""Lovely, lush, and full of otherworldly longing, this modern fairytale about righteousness and the weight we bear for love is Roth at her most imaginative and ethereal.""--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six"

The worldbuilding tightens around the neck in a way that perfectly matches the noose-tension of the dramatic tragedy.""--Max Gladstone, New York Times bestselling co-author of This Is How You Lose the Time War ""Arch-Conspirator is a gut punch of a story. Roth takes everything fragile about love, everything powerful about certain doom, and blooms with it. You'll be holding your breath until the very last word.""--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six ""Roth's powerful retelling of Antigone transforms a bleak classical tragedy into a story of ferocious, bittersweet triumph--all set against the backdrop of a ravaged post-apocalyptic future.""--Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters ""An elegant, pressingly relevant Antigone retelling, with a fascinating chorus of viewpoints that both complicates and elucidates its complex themes.""--Shelley Parker-Chan, bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun ""Tragic and triumphant in equal measure. Roth is a storyteller who reaches new heights with every tale.""--John Scalzi, bestselling author of The Kaiju Preservation Society ""Veronica Roth's Arch-Conspirator, is something rare and magnificent--a novella of epic voice and scale.
