A novel told in stories, UNWORTHY, follows a woman who comes of age as the member of a royal family. She’s next in line to take the throne, a position she does not aspire to possess. Her siblings are unable to assume the role as one by one they’re deemed unfit for the position.
The task is thrust upon her, as it is her duty.
Yet, at the right angle, under the proper lens, the real path is shown, paved with bones and held in place by the viscid and the bloody. There the truth is told, spoken in whispers into ruined ears. There, smiles sit askew on bloated faces, waiting for their turn on the other side of the veil.
Can she find the strength within to prove not only to the court and country, but also to herself that she’s not unworthy of the crown?
“There is a special kind of awe in reading the words of a literary icon for the first time; a slow-burning joy that starts as embers in your soul, warming your core, then spreading outward into your limbs, tingling along your veins, awakening your senses in a way that had not been done before, something akin to a lightning storm.
Candace Nola-Author of Shadow Manor
When the words of a master storyteller resonate so deeply within you that you turn the page slower, sit with the book just a little longer, and once it’s over, immediately start over if only to glean any last bits of meaning, of sustenance, that you may have missed upon the first serving, like a glutton, seeking the last bite of crème brûlée.
Penned by one of horror’s most iconic names, L. Marie Wood has created a feast fit for royalty within the pages of Unworthy; a triumphant display of the darkness of pain, the horrific beauty of heartache, and the bone-deep dread of knowing the end is near. “
