Obscura: A Novel

By Raelle Tucker

On a Mediterranean island famous for its hedonistic partying--and secretly home to a mountain community of mythical beings--a girl saves a trespassing tourist instead of killing him, threatening the only refuge her family has ever known.

Obscura is a glitter-soaked Mediterranean island, world-famous for its wild nightlife--sex, drugs, and cutting-edge electronic music. While tourists flood the southern beaches, the rural North of the island is a no-man's land of treacherous dirt roads and 'No Trespassing' signs. Those who dare to venture here rarely make it back.

Because the mountains of the North aren't just "cursed" as the locals believe--they are secretly home to a community of magical beings, who fled thousands of years of persecution to build a utopian society where they can live undisguised and unashamed of their hidden powers.

It's a place free of human interference--until Artemis, a girl with secrets of her own, saves a dying boy and smuggles him into her homeland. This act of rebellion sets off a reckoning that uncovers the lies, hypocrisies and brutality her community was built upon.

Now Artemis must choose: protect the world that made her, or burn it down to tell the truth.

Sweeping from hash-scented mountain communes to blood-soaked
dance floors, from illicit romances to the island's mythic, dangerous past,
Obscura is a genre-bending epic and a love letter to outsiders everywhere.
