Blood to Poison - Mary Watson

_______________ 'A fiercely compelling, ferocious story' â" Kiran Millwood Hargrave 'Furious, beautiful, and impossible to put down' - Katherine Webber _______________ An epic South African fantasy from award-winning author Mary Watson, for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and The Gilded Ones. Seventeen-year-old Savannah is cursed. It's a sinister family heirloom; passed down through the bloodline for hundreds of years, with one woman in every generation destined to die young. The family call them Hellaâs girls, named for their ancestor Hella; the enslaved woman with whom it all began. Hellaâs girls are always angry, especially in the months before they die. The anger is bursting from Savannah â" at the men who cat-call her in the street, at her motherâs disingenuous fiancé, even at her own loving family. Each fit of rage is bringing her closer to the edge and now Savannah has to act to save herself. Or die trying. Because the key to survival lies in the underbelly of Cape Town, where the sinister veilwitches are waiting for just such a girl. Blood to Poison is a furious and mesmerising story about discovering magic, historical rage and love in all its guises.
