Unrelenting

Summary

Bridget’s most important job has always been protecting her younger sister, Dahlia. But as adults, their relationship has become strained.

Then, Dahlia vanishes.

Nine months later, everyone has given up hope. Everyone except Bridget, who launches her own amateur investigation.

The search leads Bridget to something far more sinister than a typical missing persons case—a carefully guarded plot tied to powerful, ancient magic.

To uncover the truth of what happened to her sister, Bridget must confront this dangerous world, even if it means putting her own life on the line.

UNRELENTING is a contemporary fantasy pairs the supernatural sister investigation of Sarah Gailey’s MAGIC FOR LIARS with a magic system reminiscent of Brandon Sanderson’s ELANTRIS. Multi-Hugo Award-winning author Mary Robinette Kowal called UNRELENTING “a tapestry of emotion that effortlessly weaves together the threads of grief and obsession.”
