The River City Duology

From the author of What Big Teeth comes Rose Szabo’s dark YA fantasy series, The River City Duology, about the danger of stories and the untold costs of keeping magic alive.

In the first book, We All Fall Down, the magic that once thrived in River City has deteriorated, the witches are nearly obsolete, and the government body since crumbled, overtaken by a powerful king. It’s in these troubling conditions that four young queer people begin to realize they’ve unwittily been selected as archetypal figures—The Maiden, the Hero, the Monster, and the Witch—intended to act out an ancient ritual that will revive the flow of magic through their world. This spell bounding series for teens concludes with Pocketful of Posies.
