Megan Campisi’s standalone novels are rooted in carefully researched historical settings and feature women pushed to the margins of society who find ways to use their position to unexpected advantage. Sin Eater builds an entire social system around the real historical practice of sin-eating, while The Widow Spy tells a story of espionage and survival.
Both books showcase Campisi’s ability to create immersive historical worlds where the rules of daily life — what people eat, wear, and are forbidden to say — drive the plot as much as any villain or conspiracy.
