The Unweaver
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
Peaky Blinders meets dark fantasy. The 1920s London magical underworld is richly detailed with 17 mage types, the prose is lyrical, and the reluctant partnership between a necromancer and rival gang boss crackles with tension and wit.
Synopsis
Peaky Blinders with mages: The Unweaver is a historical dark fantasy romance seething with forbidden magic, gothic horror, and a spicy enemies-to-lovers slow burn. London, 1920. Necromancy is a secret thirty-year-old Cora will take to her grave. If only she could stay in it. As war erupts between gangs of mages, hiding in plain sight, Cora haunts the shadows of London’s magical underworld as the Unweaver. Blackmailed by gang boss “Mother,” Cora pries secrets out of corpses like worms to feed the magpie spy’s insatiable appetite for intrigue. Only a few of the living and scores of the dead know the Unweaver’s true identity. If anyone discovers Cora, mages will condemn her as an abomination and humans will execute her as a presumed murderer. But when her twin brother goes missing, Cora makes a deal with the devil himself to find him—she partners with enemy gang boss and portal mage, Malachy Bane. Together, they must unweave the tangled threads of conspiracy before all of London is ensnared.
