Green and Deadly Things. High-stakes fantasy teeming with necromancy, monsters and cursed magic

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERFor fans of S. A. Chakraborty, Robin Hobb, and Martha Wells's Witch King, a page-turning fantasy of necromancy and cursed magic from Jenn Lyons, the acclaimed author of The Ruin of Kings.'This propulsive read will keep you up way past your bedtime'- The New York TimesCenturies ago, necromancy almost destroyed the world. That's how history remembers it. History remembers it wrong.
Mathaiik has studied all his life to join the sacred order of the Idallik Knights, charged with defending their world from the forces of necromancy. Only vestiges of that cursed magic remain - nothing like the fabled days of the Grim Lords, the undead wizards who once nearly destroyed the world. Until monsters once more begin to wake. But something about them is even stranger: whole forests coming alive and devouring anyone so foolish as to trespass, formerly peaceful animals mutating into savage carnivores .
