About the book
A spoiler-light introduction.
Alloway has rituals for care, duty and belonging. When the choosing begins, a woman carrying the village’s expectations discovers that borrowed voices can become commands, and that refusal is treated as a wound to the whole community.
The second Courtesy Cycle novel is a dark, immersive story about inherited systems, identity and the moment a village realises the custom protecting it may also be consuming the people it selects.
