"Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love
and dared to imagine a world free of bloodshed and war."
Who hasn't heard about Laini Taylor? If you've checked out her Strange the Dreamer duology, you should also check the trilogy that launched her name into the books. The Daughter of Smoke & Bone series is a must-read during any month of the year, but perhaps especially when it's all foggy outside and you can just imagine some winged creature flying through the mists. Karou and Akiva's story is a story of star-crossed love, magic, loyalty, rebellion - and an alternate look at good and evil that you really shouldn't miss out on.
Romeo and Juliet just got another chance. And they might even make it work!
In a dark and dusty shop, a devil’s supply of human teeth grows dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war. Karou finally has the answers she has always sought. She knows who she is—and what she is. But with this knowledge comes another truth she would give anything to undo: she loved the enemy and he betrayed her, and a world suffered for it. This is a twisted version of a long-ago dream, but with even bigger threats on the horizon, are Karou and Akiva strong enough to stand among the gods and monsters?
