Under A Dark & Crooked Sky: A Dark & Crooked Tale Book II

Under a Dark & Crooked Sky - A.Vale

Death was never meant to be loud.

It should have been silence
-soft,
forgiving,

final.

But when Sophie died, the world didn’t let go. It whispered. It watched.
It remembered her name.
Now she walks between the living and the dead, carrying a secret that hums beneath her skin.
Each step draws her closer to Mourningford,
a house where grief has gravity
and the past refuses to stay buried.
There, the veil between magic and madness thins,
and love-her one unbroken tether
-begins to twist into something dangerous.
Because love remembers.
Love consumes.
And under a dark and crooked sky, even angels learn to envy the living.

A haunting descent through loss, obsession, and resurrection,
Under a Dark & Crooked Sky continues A.Vale’s gothic continuum
-where empathy and entropy war beneath the skin,
and every spell is written
in the language of longing.
