Milo, an autistic orphan raised within Tresttato's devout temple, yearns for acceptance into its ranks, dedicating himself to tending the stone statues of ancient heroes. Centuries after a miracle supposedly vanquished the city's monsters and petrified its defenders, Milo's heartfelt poetry, intended as prayer, inadvertently awakens Gia, a cursed girl consumed by a thirst for revenge. To Milo's horror, Gia immediately sets her sights on Primo Sanct Ennio, the immortal holy leader whom Milo reveres and to whom he owes his very life.
Gia vehemently asserts that Ennio, far from being a savior, is the very man who betrayed her and transformed her into a statue, revealing that Milo's cherished "miracle" was, in fact, a devastating curse. Driven by an unwavering resolve, Gia is determined to break this curse at all costs, even if it means eliminating Ennio's followers and, disturbingly, even the boy who inadvertently freed her. Milo is thus thrust into a perilous conflict, forced to confront a shattered reality where his deepest beliefs are challenged by a vengeful truth.
A Prayer for Vengeance is a fantastic fantasy debut that immerses readers in a world of curses, beasts, and monsters, with a vengeful girl at its heart, driving a compelling narrative.
