On the island of Obscura, magical beings, live in secret, hidden in plain sight beneath a hedonistic tourist paradise. Artemis is a teenage centaur raised to fear humans. But when she breaks sacred law to save a dying boy, she sets in motion a chain of events that threatens to expose her world. As she uncovers a buried history of survival, secrecy and self-erasure — and a prophecy bound to her own life — Artemis begins collecting the stories her people have fought to forget. Because stories are power. And some truths were never meant to be told.

Refreshingly original, sexy and unexpectedly moving, Obscura is a page turning novel about family, secrets and the dangerous business of truly being seen. Loved it.
Josh Silver, bestselling author of Fruit Fly

Obscura is a playful invitation to a wildly imaginative secret world ... It's a love letter to chosen family—and a cautionary tale about the sacrifices required to protect them ... This is a book for the misfits, for the people who dream of there being a little more magic in the world. More than anything, Obscura is a shimmering, earnest ode to the power of the stories we choose to tell.
Katie Yee, author of Maggie; or, A Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar

Obscura takes us into a world that is at once fantastical and deeply human. The ride is exotic, erotic, suspenseful… and impossible to put down. We meet the creatures of our oldest myths, reinvented with such originality, passion, and humanity that we're drawn into their experience and want to stay. Ms. Tucker's unique voice and perspective prove her own thesis: "Stories are our most powerful magic.
Melissa Rosenberg, showrunner of Jessica Jones, screenwriter of Twilight
