We’re thrilled to share an excerpt from We Shall Be Monsters by Tara Sim, a new young adult fantasy novel publishing with Nancy Paulsen Books on June 25th. Kajal knows she is not a good person. If she were, she wouldn’t selfishly be risking her sister’s soul in a dangerous bid to bring her back to life. She would let Lasya rest in peace—but Kajal cannot stand the horror of living without her.

A young woman must resurrect a prince whose return to the throne could restore balance to the kingdom. After successfully—with a few caveats—reviving a dead dog, gutsy Kajal is determined to do the same for Lasya, her beloved deceased sister.

But they live on borrowed time. The divine will have their war—and not all of them will survive it. A cataclysmic battle to save the city of Nexus has left the four noble heirs scattered across the realms.
