mystery on every page, and filled with an arresting cast. An
engrossing, haunting, and beautiful addition to the YA shelf." -
Isabel Iba�ez, author of Woven in Moonlight "I adored Allison
Saft's complex world and engaging heroine. Wren navigates a
war-torn country as a healer, wielding her compassion and wit as
deftly as her magic. Atmospheric, romantic, and just a touch
eerie--this is the kind of story I love to get lost in." - Emily
Lloyd-Jones, author of The Bone Houses
