YA
Mab, a young witch stepping forward to sustain family traditions, and Will, a boy resisting familial pressure to go into the military, develop an unexpected relationship as they fight together to break an old curse forged in both betrayal and love. Gratton's mesh of contemporary reality and magic brewed in herbal teas and blood tattoos is simultaneously odd, gory, original, and interesting.
