An Inheritance of Ashes

(3) YA Sixteen-year-old Hal and her pregnant older sister, Marthe, live on the margins. Their farm is failing, and Marthe's husband is still missing from the war. A pestilence of "Twisted Things"--otherworldly creatures that scorch one's flesh--forces Hal to turn to others for help. The plot is slow, but fresh world-building sustains it. A stark yet lyrical fantasy.
