We kill silently. And that is how you hunt a beast. A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year *A Barnes & Noble Best YA Book of the Year* Frey, Ovie, Juniper, and Runa are the Boneless Mercies―girls hired to kill quickly, quietly, and mercifully. But Frey is weary of the death trade and, having been raised on the heroic sagas of her people, dreams of a bigger life. When she hears of an unstoppable monster ravaging a nearby town, Frey decides this is the Mercies' one chance out. The fame and fortune of bringing down such a beast would ensure a new future for all the Mercies. In fact, her actions may change the story arc of women everywhere. Full of fierce girls, bloodlust, tenuous alliances, and unapologetic quests for glory, this elegantly spun tale challenges the power of storytelling―and who gets to be the storyteller. Perfect for fans of Maggie Stiefvater, V.E. Schwab, and Heidi Heilig. https://www.apriltucholke.com/press daily 0.75 2025-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d40d4d6a7fa0481c65b06f/84d1e13e-c7b4-4495-9dd6-af69cc1bdd5e/Picture2.png Press Selection of Interviews and Articles: Entertainment Weekly BookPage Publisher’s Weekly Book Riot Half Price Books The Mary Sue Huffington Post Atlas Obscura Selection of Starred Reviews: Seven Endless Forests (Kirkus) Seven Endless Forests (Publisher’s Weekly) The Boneless Mercies (Kirkus) The Boneless Mercies (Publisher’s Weekly) The Boneless Mercies (School Library Journal) Wink Poppy Midnight (Kirkus) https://www.apriltucholke.com/seven-endless-forests daily 0.75 2021-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d40d4d6a7fa0481c65b06f/1624758205646-FH3W0CPMQDCQ8B8PXJP4/SEVEN+COVER+2019.jpg Seven Endless Forests - In this gorgeous standalone companion to the critically acclaimed fantasy, The Boneless Mercies, April Tucholke spins a bold and blood-hungry retelling of the King Arthur legend that is perfect for fans of Naomi Novik, Garth Nix, and Laini Taylor. On the heels of a devastating plague, Torvi’s sister, Morgunn is stolen from the family farm by Uther, a flame-loving Fremish wolf-priest who leads a pack of ragged, starving girls. Torvi leaves the only home she’s ever known, and joins a shaven-skulled druid and a band of roaming Elsh artists known as the Butcher Bards. They set out on a quest to rescue Torvi’s sister, and find a mythical sword. On their travels, Torvi and her companions will encounter magical night wilds and mystical Drakes who trade in young men. They will sing rowdy Elshland ballads in a tree-town tavern, and find a mysterious black tower in an Endless Forest. They will fight alongside famous Vorseland archers and barter with Fremish wizards. They will feast with rogue Jade Fell children in a Skal Mountain cave, and seek the help of a Pig Witch. They will face wild, dangerous magic that leads to love, joy, tragedy, and death. Torvi set out to rescue a sister, but she may find it’s merely the first step toward a life that is grander and more glorious than anything she could have imagined. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d40d4d6a7fa0481c65b06f/1624758393345-RW9CA3RH3OWI9XLCAMT1/UK+cover.jpg Seven Endless Forests Tucholke delivers exquisite worldbuilding and imaginative characters, and Torvi's tale is packed with peril and no small amount of sacrifice—even a touch of romance. Her story also speaks to the joy found in spending time with loyal friends as well as the power and magic of storytelling. Readers won't want this one to end...Simply stunning. --Kirkus Starred Review In this elegant YA fantasy inspired by Arthurian legend and ancient Norse culture...Tucholke conjures a mythic, richly described landscape that serves well as the backdrop for familiar names and concepts. The strong focus on found family and feminine strength further enhances this tale’s emotional impact. --Publishers Weekly Starred Review https://www.apriltucholke.com/wink-poppy-midnight daily 0.75 2026-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d40d4d6a7fa0481c65b06f/0cb692b9-d568-4f5e-83da-0d1cb6c3bd7f/Wink_1.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d40d4d6a7fa0481c65b06f/c7d7f7b8-fd9b-4119-9912-a7cf95d68948/Midnight_1.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d40d4d6a7fa0481c65b06f/cc3edc09-09ac-4d81-ae13-6b353275734f/Poppy_1.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d40d4d6a7fa0481c65b06f/1624759752761-ZHNRTG8IK4MJEDCSFSU0/WinkPoppyMidnight_FINAL.jpeg Wink Poppy Midnight - Every story needs a hero. Every story needs a villain. Every story needs a secret. Wink is the odd, mysterious neighbor girl, wild red hair and freckles. Poppy is the blond bully and the beautiful, manipulative high school queen bee. Midnight is the sweet, uncertain boy caught between them. Wink. Poppy. Midnight. Two girls. One boy. Three voices that burst onto the page in short, sharp, bewitching chapters, and spiral swiftly and inexorably toward something terrible or tricky or tremendous. What really happened? Someone knows.
