"Rich with myth and tapped into the deepest kinds of magic, Roth has created a deliciously strange, multi-layered mystery full of very human longing."--Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House "Lovely, lush, and full of otherworldly longing, this modern fairytale about righteousness and the weight we bear for love is Roth at her most imaginative and ethereal."--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six "A tantalizing blend of gritty Chicago noir and Eastern European folklore, When Among Crows is a thrilling tale of magic and uneasy alliances, betrayal and redemption. This book reminded me why I love urban fantasy. One novella set in Roth's intriguing world isn't enough--I'm hungry for more!"--Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author of Sword Catcher "A dense little novella with a wildly original premise. . . One part road trip and one part redemption quest, this story packs a punch."--Paste "Deliciously frightening folklore perfectly mixed with adventure, heart, and sinister surprise."--Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of Book of Night "I give it all the stars. A novella that harbors inside it a wonderfully fleshed out world of Slavic myth living just under the surface of modern Chicago. There are moments of terror and violence. There are also moments of quiet intimacy. Roth accomplishes something magical in a very small number of pages and tells a heartbreaking and beautiful story. 5/5 would return to this world and these characters in a heartbeat."--Rebecca Roanhorse, New York Times bestselling author of Black Sun "Fairytale lovers will feast on this new modern fantasy. . . Roth delivers a new twist on the Slavic legend of Baba Jaga, crafting an enchanting world full of monsters, knights, and witches. "--Entertainment Weekly, " When Among Crows feels real and tangible in a way that makes me recognize Chicago. It is also fantastic in the old sense of the word, in that it feels like a curtain has been pulled away so that I step into a magical backstage. For something without any ordinary mortals, it is so grounded in emotion and intergenerational trauma. I loved it."--Mary Robinette Kowal, Hugo Award-winning author of The Calculating Stars "Roth's Chicago is one of outcasts, immigrants, secrets, family, and above all, hope. Only an author who knew the soul of the city could write this book."--J.R. Dawson, author of The First Bright Thing "Roth's novella is filled with Polish folklore, imaginative storytelling, and depictions of how family forms people but doesn't have to define them. Fans of contemporary fairy tales and fantastical stories should pick this one up."--Library Journal " When Among Crows had me terrified, entranced, awe-struck, and quite literally at the edge of my seat. I dare you to try and stop reading. The kind of book that reminds us what human imagination and mysteries are made of. Magic and wonder as only Roth can do it. I'll never look at Chicago the same way again. These streets are brimming with dreams and nightmares, and I didn't want to wake up. The terrors and wonders of lore laid out in a dreamy, blood-dripping feast."--C.J. Leede, author of Maeve Fly, "Lovely, lush, and full of otherworldly longing, this modern fairytale is Roth at her most imaginative and ethereal."--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six Praise for Arch-Conspirator : "Heartbreaking, intimate, inevitable. The worldbuilding tightens around the neck in a way that perfectly matches the noose-tension of the dramatic tragedy."--Max Gladstone, New York Times bestselling co-author of This Is How You Lose the Time War " Arch-Conspirator is a gut punch of a story. Roth takes everything fragile about love, everything powerful about certain doom, and blooms with it. You'll be holding your breath until the very last word."--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six "Roth's powerful retelling of Antigone transforms a bleak classical tragedy into a story of ferocious, bittersweet triumph--all set against the backdrop of a ravaged post-apocalyptic future."--Sunyi Dean, bestselling author of The Book Eaters "An elegant, pressingly relevant Antigone retelling, with a fascinating chorus of viewpoints that both complicates and elucidates its complex themes."--Shelley Parker-Chan, bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun "Tragic and triumphant in equal measure. Roth is a storyteller who reaches new heights with every tale."--John Scalzi, bestselling author of The Kaiju Preservation Society "Veronica Roth's Arch-Conspirator, is something rare and magnificent--a novella of epic voice and scale. Roth is a masterful conjurer, summoning both classic myth and visceral dystopia to weave a breathtaking tale of love, avarice, and the timeless desire for revenge."--Ryka Aoki, bestselling author of Light From Uncommon Stars, "Rich with myth and tapped into the deepest kinds of magic, Roth has created a deliciously strange, multi-layered mystery full of very human longing."--Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House "Lovely, lush, and full of otherworldly longing, this modern fairytale about righteousness and the weight we bear for love is Roth at her most imaginative and ethereal."--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six "Fairytale lovers will feast on this new modern fantasy. . .

Roth''s fantasy novels are always a hit; expect nothing less from her short latest."--Booklist, STARRED review " When Among Crows feels real and tangible in a way that makes me recognize Chicago.

Roth creates a fascinating magical world full of colorful mythical creatures, and by alternating between intense action scenes and more intimate moments of character development, she keeps the pages flying."--Publishers Weekly " When Among Crows had me terrified, entranced, awe-struck, and quite literally at the edge of my seat.

Synopsis
An instant USA Today bestseller! When Among Crows is swift and striking, drawing from the deep well of Slavic folklore and asking if redemption and atonement can be found in embracing what we most fear. We bear the sword, and we bear the pain of the sword. On Kupala Night, Dymitr arrives in Chicago's monstrous, magical underworld with a perilous mission: pick the mythical fern flower and offer it to a cursed creature in exchange for help finding the legendary witch Baba Jaga. Ala is a fear-eating zmora afflicted with a bloodline curse that's slowly killing her. She's just desperate enough to say yes to Dymitr, even if she doesn't know his motives. Over the course of one night, Ala and Dymitr risk life and limb in search of Baba Jaga, and begin to build a tentative friendship. . . but when Ala finds out what Dymitr is hiding, it could destroy them both. "Lovely, lush, and full of otherworldly longing, this modern fairytale about righteousness and the weight we bear for love is Roth at her most imaginative and ethereal."--Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six, An instant USA Today bestseller!
