Green and Deadly Things by Jenn Lyons

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

For 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 Times

Centuries 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 . . . the land itself has turned upon humanity and the Knights are powerless to stop it.

It’s a good thing, then, that the Grim Lords were never truly destroyed. One of their number sleeps below the Knights' very fortress. And when an army of twisted tree monsters attacks the young initiates in his charge, Math decides to do the unthinkable: he wakes her up.

'Incredibly compelling magical ideas pairs with deeply terrifying monsters'
– Daniel M. Ford, author of The Warden
