About the Book

A silhouette filled with dark trees, a raven keeping watch, and a girl walking a path she did not choose. Death’s Heir is a gothic fantasy about inheritance in its oldest sense — a title, a duty and a debt that arrive whether or not you are ready for them. Day Parker writes the forest as something patient rather than cruel, and the result unsettles more than it frightens.

An heir who walks in anyway.
