The Abbey has controlled the minds of its patrons for a millennium through memory magic, stolen from exiled saints. At fifteen, Jude was exiled from the Abbey to the bleak moors in the countryside, to maintain their control over his bourgeoning magic. Almost a decade later, he wants to live a normal life free from the Abbey’s oppressive gaze. When they send Maeve, a stubbornly devout iconographer, to paint an updated icon of him, Jude makes it his mission to get rid of her as soon as possible. That is until he discovers she holds the same tainted magic of the saints as he does, and that the icons she paints may be the key to destroying the Abbey’s power.
As Jude and Maeve draw closer, the two of them face a choice—they can take on the full power of the Abbey and risk their lives for freedom or escape back to exile and make the most of their fading memories. But this institution has eyes everywhere, and the only thing the Abbey loves more than a saint is a martyr.
Genre:
-
"Written in prose as vivid as stained glass and heady as incense, The Sacred Space Between is a meditation on loneliness, doubt, and love that heals—and a study in tortured pining. Don’t miss it!"Allison Saft, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Dark and Drowning Tide
-
"An achingly tender and masterful romantic fantasy debut. Reid has crafted a beautiful study in what it is to love ourselves and others while navigating a dangerous and uncertain world. With pages that brim with courage, yearning, and atmosphere, The Sacred Space Between is a story you won't soon forget."Kalie Cassidy, author of In the Veins of the Drowning
-
"Reid’s debut welcomes readers into a gorgeously rendered world infused with saintly devotion, passionate yearning, and desperate heartache—and ultimately offers itself up as a prayer for catharsis, healing, and hope."Laura R. Samotin, author of The Sins On Their Bones
-
"By turns heartbreakingly tender and devastatingly brutal, this story of saints, iconographers, magic, and passion absolutely ensnared me. Maeve and Jude, with his 'sharp edges and soft mouth' (good grief!), live rent free in my head and heart. Highly recommended if you’ve ever listened to Hozier’s 'Work Song' and said, 'Yes, I absolutely do need a beautifully written, sinister-yet-hopeful romantasy that feels like that song.'”Jamie Pacton, bestselling author of The Absinthe Underground, The Vermilion Emporium, and Homegrown Magic
