Melinda Salisbury

Melinda Salisbury’s debut young adult novel takes her readers in to a dark fantasy world, where central character Twylla can kill with a single touch.

The Sin Eater’s Daughter is the first in a trilogy of books and tells the story of Twylla and her unusual gift. As the court executioner, she is compelled to do the queen's bidding – and marry the prince. But when she meets a rebellious guard, Twylla starts to question everything she's been told.

With the second and third books taking place in the same multi-layered fantasy world and a love triangle that promises to make the Twilight saga look bloodless, this is a series that will appeal to fans of young adult fantasy.
