The Second Bell | Gabriela Houston

1 post | 1 read | 5 to read

In a world which believes her to be a monster, a young striga fights to harness the power of her second heart, while her mother sacrifices everything to stop her... In an isolated mountain community, sometimes a child is born with two hearts. This child is called a striga and is considered a demon who must be abandoned on the edge of the forest. The child's mother must then decide to leave with her infant, or stay and try to forget. Nineteen year-old striga, Salka, and her mother, Miriat, made the choice to leave and live a life of deprivation and squalor in an isolated village. The striga tribe share the human belief that to follow the impulses of their other hearts is dangerous, inviting unspoken horrors and bringing ruin onto them all. Salka, a headstrong and independent young woman, finds herself in a life threatening situation that forces her to explore the depths of her true nature and test the bonds between mother and child...

This was a super interesting premise of a fantasy based on the Eastern European folklore about Striga. Unfortunately the novels primary villain was a disabled man who acted in evil in seeking healing for his disability by whatever means necessary. It ruined the story for me and honestly it would have been a more interesting story without that character at all.
