A fearsomely dark, incantatory new dystopia set in a post-apocalyptic
convent from the author of viral sensation Tender is the Flesh
'Barbaric, brutal and utterly beautiful. The Unworthy is a searing haunt
of a novel that I will never forget' LUCY ROSE, AUTHOR OF THE
LAMB
In the House of the Sacred Sisterhood, the unworthy live in fear of the Superior
Sister's whip. Seething with resentment, they plot against each other and
await who will ascend to the level of the Enlightened - and who will suffer the
next exemplary punishment.
Risking her life, one of the unworthy keeps a diary in secret. Slowly, memories
surface from a time before the world collapsed, before the Sacred
Sisterhood became the only refuge.
Then Luca arrives. She, too, is unworthy - but she is different. And her presence
brings a single spark of hope to a world of darkness.
