 \u201cBeautiful and macabre, Borsellino weaves a darkly spellbinding tale of sapphic love in a world where the dead aren\u2019t always gone. The Hollow Witch<\/strong><\/a> will keep you turning the pages deep into the night.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThis is a wild, magical, powerful story; a force to be reckoned with. Our queer disabled heroine may live in a world of zombies and witches, but like our own it\u2019s also rife with corruption, oppression & violence. Can love, friendship & hope survive in such a place? The Hollow Witch<\/strong><\/a> dares us to imagine what ending we\u2019d choose for this story, and perhaps even our own world\u2026 red fan, or white?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Can love conquer the dead?<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

When child soldier Silvie loses her magic and part of her hearing, her life as she knew it is over. Sent to the far-away canal city of Arteria to be an alchemist’s apprentice, she is forced to begin again.<\/p>\n

Azura, the alchemist’s daughter, has always lived among Arteria’s wealthiest and most comfortable. She and Silvie couldn’t be more different, and yet the two are drawn to one another, each trapped by the circumstances of their birth. <\/p>\n

But Arteria is plagued by the high cost of its magic use: the cadaveri<\/i>, walking corpses that prey on the living. When the city comes under unprecedented threat, can Silvie and Azura save it? Do they even want to?<\/p>\n
