Everline Blackthorn is a warden, a group of magic-wielding members at the enclave who are trained to protect the Hallowed Lands from the monsters that live beyond the borders. Everline is just as competent as her peers – except she can’t use magic. Not only that, but everyone knows what her mother did the night she was born. Her father and High Commander at the enclave, Fenn, refuses to tell her the truth of what happened that night. So one night, after encountering a monster that looks too human, she begins to think that Fenn is keeping more secrets. Desperate for answers, she leaves the enclave to search for the truth. And when she encounters another human-like monster, she finds herself breaking rules and making deals that could send her into exile. Unholy Terrors by Lyndall Clipstone is a dark fantasy novel in which Everline takes matters into her own vulnerable hands and goes to great lengths to find who she is and so much more.
