 THREE MONTHS until A THOUSAND STEPS INTO NIGHT and I thought it’d be fun to share the first line with you! When I first set out to write this story, I knew I wanted it to be a little it beautiful, a little bit eerie, and a little bit tongue-in-cheek. It took a while to find the voice of this project, but I’m really proud of how it turned out! 💙 Pre-order for a folktale journey, a feminist fantasy, and Ghibli vibes!

 FOUR MONTHS until A THOUSAND STEPS INTO NIGHT and ARCs have arrived! 🌙👹 Here’s what’s in store for you, coming March 1, 2022:
From New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award finalist, Traci Chee, comes a Japanese-influenced fantasy brimming with demons, adventure, and plans gone awry. In the realm of Awara, where gods, monsters, and humans exist side by side, Miuko is an ordinary girl resigned to a safe, if uneventful, existence as an innkeeper’s daughter. But when Miuko is cursed and begins to transform into a demon with a deadly touch, she embarks on a quest to reverse the curse and return to her normal life. Aided by a thieving magpie spirit and continuously thwarted by a demon prince, Miuko must outfox tricksters, escape demon hunters, and negotiate with feral gods if she wants to make it home again. But with her transformation comes power and freedom she never even dreamed of, and she’ll have to decide if saving her soul is worth trying to cram herself back into an ordinary life that no longer fits her… and perhaps never did.
