Author Rory Power earned acclaim for her YA fantasy novels
Wilder Girls and
Burn Our Bodies Down, but in 2022 she’ll be making her adult fantasy debut with
In a Garden Burning Gold, a tale of magical twins that’s inspired in part by her Greek heritage. Gizmodo is excited to reveal the cover and first excerpt from Power’s forthcoming novel.
First up, a synopsis to introduce you to the characters:
Rhea and her twin brother, Lexos, have spent an eternity helping their father rule their small, unstable country, using their control over the seasons, tides, and stars to keep the people in line. For a hundred years, they’ve been each other’s only ally, defending each other and their younger siblings against their father’s increasingly unpredictable anger.
