To Clutch a Razor
#1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth pulls from Slavic folklore to explore family, duty, and what it means to be a monster in this sequel to the USA Today bestselling novella When Among Crows.
A funeral. A heist. A desperate mission.
When Dymitr is called back to the old country for the empty night, a funeral rite intended to keep evil at bay, it's the perfect opportunity for him to get his hands on his family's most guarded relic―a book of curses that could satisfy the debt he owes legendary witch Baba Jaga. But first he'll have to survive a night with his dangerous, monster-hunting kin.
As the sun sets, the line between enemies and allies becomes razor-thin, and Dymitr’s new loyalties are pushed to their breaking point.
Family gatherings can be brutal. Dymitr’s might just be fatal.

Veronica Roth
Veronica Roth, the mind behind the Divergent series, has carved out her place as one of the leading voices in young adult dystopian fiction. Born in 1988 in Chicago, Illinois, Roth’s early life was filled with a love for storytelling, which she nurtured through writing short stories, novels, and more. Her path to success wasn’t instantaneous; it was a journey of honing her craft and embracing her unique voice.
Roth’s breakout moment came in 2011 with the publication of Divergent, the first book in a trilogy set in a future society divided into factions based on virtues. This high-stakes world, with its exploration of identity, fear, and rebellion, resonated deeply with readers, launching Roth into the spotlight. But Divergent wasn’t just a story about a girl caught in a conflict, it was a reflection of the complexities of choice and control, and how the decisions we make shape not just ourselves, but the world around us.
Curse Bearer
In a city where shadows twist with secrets and the ordinary is never quite safe, a young woman bears a curse that marks her for both power and peril. The Curse Bearer series follows her journey through streets thick with legend, forests that hum with unseen life, and hidden corners where myth and reality collide. Each step draws her deeper into a world shaped by ancient magic, complicated loyalties, and choices that carry consequences far beyond what she can see. Along the way, she encounters allies whose intentions are never entirely clear, adversaries who wield charm as easily as a weapon, and a web of intrigue that tests her courage, intelligence, and resolve.
Curse Bearer consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
