Seventeen-year-old Penelope (Pen) has lost everything-her home, her parents, and
her ten-year-old brother. Like a female Odysseus in search of home, she navigat
es a dark world full of strange creatures, gathers companions and loses them, fi
nds love and loses it, and faces her mortal enemy. In her signature style, Franc
esca Lia Block has created a world that is beautiful in its destruction and as f
rightening as it is lovely.
At the helm is Pen, a strong heroine who holds ho
pe and love in her hands and refuses to be defeated.
