Overview

An orphan out to find the truth within a warped religion turns his poetry into prayer--a prayer that awakens a cursed girl hungry for revenge. Centuries after a miracle vanquished Tresttato's monsters and turned the soldiers fighting them to stone, Milo lovingly tends to the statues of those who protected the city. Raised with devout templars and scholars, autistic temple ward Milo wants nothing more than to be accepted into their ranks. When his prayers admiring her heroic sacrifice accidentally free Gia from stone, she wakes with a fury to kill the man Milo owes his life to, Primo Sanct Ennio. Gia claims that the immortal holy leader Milo lives to serve is the same man who betrayed her and transformed her into a statue--and what Milo always believed was a miracle was actually a curse that Gia will stop at nothing to break. Even if she has to kill his followers to do it. Even if she must kill the boy who woke her.

Author Information

Leanne Schwartz has spent about half her life at either the library or the local theater, where she has played Lady Macbeth, Lady Capulet, Clytemnestra, and Hera-perhaps one reason she writes such vengeful, murderous girls. When she's not teaching English and poetry, she can be found baking pizzelle, directing scenes for the student Shakespeare festival, and singing along to show tunes. She lives in California, with her family. A Prayer for Vengeance is her debut novel. Natalie Duke is a SOVAS and Emmy Award-winning voice actor with over 100 audiobooks to her name. She specializes in snark, sass, and sarcasm, but can artfully portray a wide range of emotions and personalities. Natalie lives in Chicago with her spouse, kids, and too many pets.
