The legend says they loved each other, but can the story be trusted at all?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Long ago, a village made a bargain with the devil: to ensure their prosperity, when the Slaughter Moon rises, the village must sacrifice a young man into the depths of the Devil\u2019s Forest.<\/p>\n<p>Only this year, the Slaughter Moon has risen early.<\/p>\n<p>Bound by duty, secrets, and the love they share for one another, Mairwen, a spirited witch; Rhun, the expected saint; and Arthur, a restless outcast, will each have a role to play as the devil demands a body to fill the bargain. But the devil these friends find is not the one they expect, and the lies they uncover will turn their town\u2014and their hearts\u2014inside out.<\/p>\n<h4>Representation Includes<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Nonbinary\/gender questioning protagonist (Arthur)<\/li>\n<li>Polyamorous relationship (F\/M\/NB)<\/li>\n<li>All three are either canonically bi\/pan or implied to be bi\/pan<\/li>\n<li>One of the three (Rhun) is black<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><div class=\"spoiler-wrap\"><div class=\"spoiler-head no-icon  collapsed\" title=\"Expand\">Content Warnings<\/div><div class=\"spoiler-body\" style=\"display: none;\"> animal death, bullying, trauma, grief, murder, torture, human sacrifice, abandonment, a f\/f relationship ends in death, child death, transphobia, homophobia, forced gender roles, verbal abuse <\/div><noscript><div class=\"spoiler-body\"> animal death, bullying, trauma, grief, murder, torture, human sacrifice, abandonment, a f\/f relationship ends in death, child death, transphobia, homophobia, forced gender roles, verbal abuse <\/div><\/noscript><\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Reviews<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tor.com\/2018\/09\/20\/book-reviews-strange-grace-by-tessa-gratton\/\">Lee Mandelo&#8217;s review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/2386790206?book_show_action=false&amp;from_review_page=1\">Melanie&#8217;s review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/1988929643?book_show_action=false&amp;from_review_page=1\">Elise&#8217;s review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/2285790905?book_show_action=false&amp;from_review_page=1\">Destiny&#8217;s review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Where to Find<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/153440208X\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=queersffdatab-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=153440208X&amp;linkId=51931fb9fb6630082e844e3298624f53\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781534402096?aff=113011258\">IndieBound<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldcat.org\/title\/strange-grace\/oclc\/1127643791&amp;referer=brief_results\">WorldCat<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once, a witch made a pact with a devil.
