Publisher's Summary
Gorgeous and devastating, P. H. Low’s debut fantasy is a richly reimagined tale of Captain Hook’s origin, a story of cruelty, magic, lost innocence, and the indelible power of stories.
Jordan was once a Lost Boy, convinced she would never grow up. Now, she’s twenty-two and exiled to the real world, still suffering withdrawal from the addictive magic Dust of her childhood. With nothing left to lose, Jordan returns to the Island and its stories—of pirates and war and the heartlessness of youth—intent on facing Peter one last time, on her own terms.
If that makes her the villain…so be it.
What the critics say
"In intoxicating, phantasmagorical prose, These Deathless Shores gives us the existential horror of childhoods shadowed by the future betrayal of the body by itself. Fear and denial, heartlessness and cruelty—but also love, and self-determination—combine perfectly in this unremittingly powerful, bleeding gut wound of a book."—Shelley Parker-Chan, bestselling author of the Radiant Emperor series
"These Deathless Shores is an extraordinary debut—P. H. Low's soaring, lyrical prose pulls you down into a glittering, terrifying world full of propulsive action and complex characters that seem to leap from the pages. You think you know how this story goes... you don't. I loved every breathtaking, heartstopping moment."—Sarah Underwood, New York Times bestselling author of Lies We Sing to the Sea
"Gorgeous and unforgiving, These Deathless Shores is the Captain Hook origin story I never knew I needed. Come for the lush expansiveness of the world, stay for the incisive examination of gender, colonialism, and ambition. This book will sink its teeth into you and not let go."—Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of Portrait of a Thief
