WE SHALL BE MONSTERS
Frankenstein meets Indian mythology in this dark and atmospheric YA fantasy about a girl with the ability to resurrect the dead and the prince she mistakenly awakens...
When Kajal's sister Lasya dies, Kajal vows to bring her back using necromancy and Lasya becomes a bhuta - a violent wraith-like spirit, haunting those who wronged it in life and killing all in its path. She thinks she's got six months to do it, but her sister's bhuta arrives early and she's angry... at Kajal who may have had a hand in her death. As Lasya begins claiming victims from beyond the grave, Kajal is the one blamed and she's thrown into jail where she must survive a trial by poison to prove her innocence.
Kajal might be able to revive the dead but reviving herself from death by poison is perhaps a step too far, even for her. Luckily, two strangers who have been tracking her since Lasya's death offer to help her escape. The catch: She must resurrect the kingdom's fallen crown prince as part of a coup to overthrow the usurper who murdered the royal family nearly two decades ago. Easy. Only Lasya continues to haunt Kajal, her body count rising, and the prince Kajal resurrects isn't actually the crown prince, but another boy entirely.
Kajal has spent most of her life trusting no one but her sister. But with her sister dead and with rebels at her back for whom failure is not an option, Kajal finds herself forced to work with the boy she mistakenly raised in hopes they can find the right prince - before the rebels discover her mistake or Lasya's bhuta kills again, this time perhaps taking Kajal's life as recompense.
Tara Sim is the author of The Dark Gods trilogy, the Scavenge the Stars duology, and the Timekeeper trilogy who can typically be found wandering the wilds of the Bay Area, California. When she's not chasing cats or lurking in bookstores, she writes books about magic, murder, and mayhem.
