Publisher's Synopsis
Fourteen-year-old Mary Lanham has always lived a quiet, unremarkable life in the sleepy town of Chesset, Arkansas-unhappy days at school, lonely evenings in her hilltop home, and a hopeless crush on a boy she's never even spoken to. But when a stranger in a long, gray cloak emerges from the forest, her world is turned upside down.
A centuries-old mystery begins to unravel, revealing magical secrets buried deep within her family's past. As dark forces close in, Mary discovers that she is far more than an ordinary girl-she is the key to a destiny both greater and more terrifying than she ever imagined. With danger lurking at every turn, she must embrace her newfound power before everything she loves is lost forever.
A thrilling YA urban fantasy full of mystery, magic, and destiny-perfect for fans of Holly Black and Cassandra Clare.
