FIVE WOMEN ARE DEAD.

The killer leaves no fingerprints, no DNA. Police are utterly stumped. In a world where only women can use magic and the men who know about it seek to eradicate them, three damaged young women - one cursed, one hunted, one out for revenge - will team up to track down and take out a brutal supernatural killer.

Jude Wolf is rich as sin and handsome as the devil. But she's also cursed. Her immortal soul is tethered to a rather hateful demon - and she wants the hell out of the deal. What Jude needs is a cursewriter - and she thinks the string of dead women, all of whom she suspects are messing with the occult, might just be able to lead her to one.

Zara Jones has also been tracking the murders since they began. Her older sister was the killer's first victim. Zara doesn't just want revenge, she wants to find a way to bring her sister back. What Zara needs is a witch, a sorcerer, a necromancer - in fact, what Zara needs is a cursewriter.

At the apartment of the fifth victim, Jude and Zara meet by chance, and there they find a clue that brings their paths crashing together: a strange business card bearing three words. Emer Byrne. Cursewriter.

A gorgeously twisted modern fairy tale that shimmers with magic and mystery. The Invocations is thrilling, irresistible, and unforgettable. -- Karen McManus, bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying

Praise for House of Hollow;

Stepping nimbly among the liminal spaces and eerie real-world haunts of our heroine's cipher-sister, this haunting modern fairy tale will wrap you up like a glittering fog, before going for your throat. -- Melissa Albert

This dark, deliciously twisted novel has everything you could hope for as a reader - a brilliant concept, glamorous characters with secrets to hide, immersive world building, and some of the finest writing I've seen in YA fiction. I'll put it like this - I am obsessed with the House of Hollow. -- Louise O'Neill

Dark and delicious, House of Hollow hums with malice and mystery. I devoured it whole. - Kiran Milwood Hargrave

In House of Hollow , Krystal Sutherland turns her razor-sharp imagination to new horizons and proves, once again, that words blossom at her command. This story will steal up your spine, slip beneath your skin, and stick to you like honey. -- Samantha Shannon

Utterly gripping, deliciously strange and haunting. -- Katherine Rundell

Alive with lush language and a dark fairy tale feel, this is a compelling read alike for lovers of Holly Black's many wonderful fair folk standalones and series - Abby Bussen - School Library Journal

Iris' smart and assured narration easily carries a fast-paced story entwining themes of grief and loss with elements of folklore and some very inventive body horror. The pervasive feeling of dread builds to a shocking twist. A lush and darkly twisted modern fairy tale. - Kirkus

Sutherland's Invocations has been one of my favourite reads of the year. This story is exceptionally crafted. Equal parts visceral and haunting, its twists and turns will lure readers in, and its compulsive plot will keep them engrossed until the end. - Ayana Gray, New York Times-bestselling author of Beasts of Prey trilogy

With a pulse-pounding mystery at its core and three angry, brilliant young women as its lead, this witchy fantasy thriller is a must-read - darkly funny, twisty and brilliantly original, it grips you all the way through to its intricately plotted climax. - Ravena Guron, author of This Book Kills

Fans will adore the twisty, heartstopping plot, and how a group of determined teenage girls bring down evil patriarchal structures. -- Charlotte Eyre - The Bookseller

The child of Jehovah's Witnesses, Krystal was forbidden from ever reading Harry Potter, a rule she broke at the age of 10 when she stole a copy from the local library and smuggled it into her bedroom. She's been an avid reader ever since.

Krystal has lived in Sydney and Amsterdam where she worked as a magazine editor and foreign correspondent for Hijacked, one of Australia's largest youth culture websites. She was also shortlisted for the Queensland Young Writers Award. Our Chemical Hearts, Krystal's debut novel, was published to great acclaim.
