The Maiden and Her Monster by Maddie Martinez is an atmospheric fantasy, reimagining the Jewish myth of golem in a tale of a cursed forest, impossible choices and sapphic romance. Perfect for fans of Katherine Arden, Ava Reid, Hannah Whitten and Naomi Novik.
The forest eats the girls who wander out after dark . . .
As the healer's daughter, Malka has seen how the forest''s curse has plagued her village. But the Ozmini Church only comes to collect its tithe, not to listen to heretics with false stories of monsters in the trees. So when a clergy girl wanders too close to the woods and Malka's mother is accused of her murder, Malka strikes an impossible bargain with a zealot Ozmini priest. If she brings him the monster, he will spare her mother from execution.
When she ventures into the blood-soaked woods, Malka finds a monster, though not the one she expects: an inscrutable, disgraced golem who agrees to implicate herself, but only after Malka helps her fulfil an ancient promise by freeing the imprisoned rabbi who created her.
But a deal easily made is not easily kept. And as their bargain begins to unravel a much more sinister threat, protecting her people may force Malka to endanger the one person she left home to save – and face her growing feelings for the very creature she was taught to fear.
