The Black That Surrounds Us by Emily E. Hood EPUB



"I used to think the sea was angry...

"... perhaps it was the way it was free to express itself in ways I could not."



In the land of Iovonor, where four dynasties are at war, there are rules. Those that serve under the rulers understand them. If they are broken, consequences are applied - no matter how barbaric.



When clothier Onyx's heart misleads her to fall for the Ruler's son, she is deemed a seductress and punished in the cruellest of ways; her tongue is distastefully removed.



After a grand escape, it is revealed that her life is diminishing and quickly. Without the ability to speak and poison running through her veins, she must learn to trust those she doesn't know and thoroughly dislikes in order to gain her the immortality that will make her more powerful than ever before.



Even if she does not survive, she knows one thing for certain; she will never belong to anyone ever again.



Inspired by classic and epic fantasy with incredible female main characters, The Black That Surrounds Us is Emily E. Hood's debut fantasy novel about a once-powerful Fae with no hopes for her future. With old and new found-family, a Captain whose sole purpose is to think of ways to kill her, and an impossibly sarcastic immortal, she finds new reasons to live.
