Celebrating a decade as Ithaca's community-owned independent bookstore
Dewitt Mall · Ithaca, NY · 607-273-8246
We're so excited to help bestselling author Kalynn Bayron launch the sequel to "This Poison Heart!"
About the Book
In "This Wicked Fate" (the sequel to "This Poison Heart") our heroine Briseis takes on ancient goddesses and deadly curses to save her family. "This Wicked Fate" features some of the same characters and is just as black, queer, and diverse as "This Poison Heart" and all of Bayron's work. You'll want to know how it can possibly all be pulled off, but Bayron does it, weaving a rich plot about deadly plants, long-held family secrets, systemic oppression, and the occult, perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Dhonielle Clayton, and Justina Ireland.
