Description
Em Morales's life was forever changed when her sister was raped by another student after a party. Her family's advocacy helped secure a guilty verdict, but justice was short-lived as the judge sentenced the rapist to no prison time. Em is left feeling sick with rage and guilt.
A news clip of her comments goes viral, sparking a desire for revenge. However, from this low point, Em must find a new reason to carry on and help her family heal. She discovers an unlikely source of inspiration in the story of Marguerite de Bressieux, a legendary avenging knight who fought for rape victims.
This searing novel is a nuanced portrait of a young woman torn between a desire for revenge and a burning need for hope. With its powerful themes and emotional depth, it's a thought-provoking read that will stay with you long after the final page is turned.
