Young Adult Paranormal
A knife-sharp debut novel that leaves its mark. Plain Kate lives in a world of superstitions and curses,
where a song can heal a wound and a shadow can work deep
magic. When Kate's village falls on hard times - crops fail,
and even Kate's father falls victim to a deadly fever - the
townspeople look for someone to blame, and their eyes fall
on Kate. Enter Linay, a stranger with a proposition: In exchange for
her shadow, he'll give Kate the means to escape the town
that seems set to burn her, and what's more, he'll grant her
heart's wish. It's a chance for her to start over, to find a
home, a family, a place to belong. But Kate soon realizes
that she can't live shadowless forever -- and that Linay's
designs are darker than she ever dreamed.
