Can she convince her fellow participants of this before it is too late, or will Tierney be the latest victim of the grace year? As the grace year continues, Tierney begins to suspect that she does not have any magic within her, and that the grace year is a lie. However, between the lack of food, the vicious poachers waiting outside the fence and the growing instability of the girls trapped with her, Tierney’s odds are not looking good.
After arriving at the compound, Tierney attempts find a way for everyone to survive the harsh year. Hoping for a quiet life in the fields after she returns, an unexpected betrothal from her friend paints a target on her back from the other girls travelling with her. As something of a rebellious soul compared to the other girls in the village, Tierney dreams of a better society in which women are not forced to survive amidst the bitter whims of the men nor pitted against other women.
Tierney James is just about to enter her grace year. Only if they survive their grace year will they emerge as pure women. There they must spend an entire year together, using all their magic to survive amidst the harsh elements and the dangerous things lurking outside the fences. At the start of their sixteenth year, all of the town’s young women are transported to an isolated compound deep in the woods. In order to rid themselves of their magic, each girl in the village must participate in the grace year. In Garner County, a seemingly isolated town in the middle of vast wilderness, women are taught that they are magical beings whose eldritch powers are the root of all sin and whose magic can control the actions of men, causing them to do all manner of debauchery. Publisher: Del Rey (Trade Paperback – 10 October 2019)įrom the brilliant mind of young adult and horror author Kim Liggett comes one of the most thought-provoking reads of the year, The Grace Year.
