For fans of Brigid Kemmerer's A Curse So Dark and Lonely and Naomi Novik's Uprooted, there is the gorgeous Lakesedge sequel by Lyndall Clipstone. I made my pledge by the lake's side. I'm going to fall in the woods. The Lakesedge Estate curse has been lifted, but not without a price. Violeta Graceling gave up her life to put an end to corruption. Leta, in her desperation to avoid dying, strikes a deal with the Lord Under that will keep her by his side in the hereafter. He claims to have fulfilled all of his promises to her, but Leta is aware that this realm of spirits and gloom holds a lot of untold mysteries.
