The survivor of a brutal academy must exhume her own past in the first book in a new series from the international bestselling author of the Library Trilogy and the Broken Empire series.

Set a thief to catch a thief. Set a monster to punish monsters.

The Academy of Kindness exists to create agents of retribution, cast in the image of the Furies—known as the kindly ones—against whom even the gods hesitate to stand. Each year a hundred girls are sold to the Academy. Ten years later only three will emerge.

The Academy’s halls run with blood. The few that survive its decade-long nightmare have been forged on the sands of the Wound Garden. They have learned ancient secrets amid the necrotic fumes of the Bone Garden. They leave its gates as avatars of vengeance, bound to uphold the oldest of laws.

Only the most desperate would sell their child to the Kindnesses. But Rue … she sold herself. And now, a lifetime later, a long and bloody lifetime later, just as she has discovered peace, war has been brought to an old woman’s doorstep.

That was a mistake.

"An elegant, consuming epic."—Entertainment Weekly

“Told in multiple viewpoints and flashback chapters, this story is one of reclamation and survival, family and friendships, and the power of memory retained and lost.”—Library Journal (starred review)

"This is just one of those books you wish you could enjoy again for the first time. From page one the action kicks off and ratchets up with every chapter...Daughter of Crows is already a contender for best read of 2026."—SFF Insiders

"Glimmering grimdark fantasy...Lawrence draws from several different mythological pantheons to build this surprising new world and keeps readers guessing how the dangers detailed in the flashbacks will play out, sparing none of his characters from gruesome fates, deserved or not...Lawrence’s fans will be eager for more."—Game Vortex
