Covenant of the Hollow (Chronicles of a Drowsy God Book 1)

Across centuries, the lives of two young women collide. Annalise Silva is a teenager with aspirations of escaping her abusive home life by becoming mayor of her small Washington town. Driven by prophetic dreams, she and her friends are drawn to the Hollow, where a mysterious creature offers them their deepest desires in exchange for their ability to feel fear. Elizabeth Bathory is a young noblewoman who longs for a place in history, but in 1500's Hungarian culture she's relegated to a footnote in her husband's story. Determined to forge her own destiny, she accepts the creature's whispered promise of fame and legacy in exchange for her inhibitions. She didn't know she'd be branded as the most prolific female serial killer in history. With lives running in reverse and time running out, will their attempts to stop each other’s descent into madness succeed—before the creature destroys the world? For lovers of China Mieville's Perdido Street Station and Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach Triology. "Have you danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? Things asked for under the cover of darkness may not come to life as you expect. In this gripping story spanning hundreds of years, Ashleigh Gauch has woven a tale of deceit, desire, fear, and madness."—Richard Thomas, author of Thriller-nominee Breaker
