The Lure of Their Graves

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE LURE OF THEIR GRAVES:

“The Lure of Their Graves is a master class in writing the conclusion to a duology. Unique, heart-stopping, and utterly brimming with angst, Laura R. Samotin is the queen of drama and romance. This is a book that kept me up all night reading. Once you start, you will not stop. The Lure of Their Graves is a tale of new love, old flames and the growth of friendship between a group of unlikely allies. Never have I read a duology before where I desperately wanted it to be a ten-book series. If you are going to pick any series up and read it, do yourself a favour and make it this one. One word: unreal.” —Ben Alderson, author of A Betrayal of Storms

“With The Lure of Their Graves, Laura Samotin has crafted a sequel that is tense, tender, and utterly immersive, balancing a cast of deeply traumatized but stubbornly resilient characters, a rich fantasy world grounded seamlessly in Jewish mysticism, and a plot that never stops moving — and holds fast to the transformative power of love to persevere against impossible odds.” —Shelly Jay Shore, USA Today bestselling author of Rules for Ghosting

“A darkly riveting sequel, The Lure of Their Graves dives even deeper into the true-to-life complexities of religion, politics, and trauma, while still offering the smooth balm of hope, found family, and love. An eternal flame of a book.” —Maddie Martinez, author of The Maiden and Her Monster

“Tragic and tender and crackling with magic, The Lure of Their Graves is a stellar conclusion to an exceptional duology. As Dimitri and Vasily are torn between duty and desire, Samotin reminds us that that cruelty has lasting consequences–and that love may be the only thing that can save us. Readers will leave Novo-Svitsevo enchanted.” —Allison Epstein, author of Fagin the Thief
