Black Bird, Blue Road
Sofiya Pasternack
In tenth-century Khazaria, twins Ziva and Pesah search for a way to treat Pesah’s leprosy. Pesah lives apart to prevent transmission, but Ziva continues caring for him and helping test salves. After Ziva learns that their uncle intends to send Pesah to a colony, the siblings escape in the family wagon toward Byzantium in hopes of finding doctors. Pesah’s vision of the Angel of Death on Rosh Hashanah makes their journey urgent, and they encounter a captive demon and the city of Luz along the way.
