Early Reviewers
In a city of wind-swept wharfs and winding alleyways, the haunting memory of a far-off village lingers on in the fable of a mysterious flower which bursts into flames, but never burns.
Crow Dark Dawn interweaves the stories of Morrow, Ghresselle, Fenya and Binnory: vulnerable, complex and cunning, surviving in a liminal city of wind-swept wharfs and winding alleyways, stagnant canals and cold dank cellars – drawing on folklore and myth to create a distinctive dream-like atmosphere.
Longing and loneliness, hunger and disease live cheek by jowl with dancing and revelry, fiddle-playing and puppetry – and the haunting memory of a far-off village, lingering on in the mythic tale of a flower which bursts into flames, but never burns.
