Amid the devastated Dust Bowl in heartland America, the
destiny of the fairie world is controlled by one teenage girl.
This new trilogy will capture the hearts of readers who
adore Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle series. Callie LeRoux lives
in Slow Run, Kansas, helping her mother run their small
hotel and trying not to think about the father she's never
met. Lately, all of her energy is spent battling the
constant storms plaguing the Dust Bowl and their effects on
her health. Callie is left alone when her mother goes
missing in a dust storm. Her only hope comes from a
mysterious man offering a few clues about her destiny and
the path she must take to find her parents in "the golden
hills of the west" (California). Along the way, she meets
Jack, a young hobo boy who is happy to keep her
company—there are dangerous, desperate people at every turn.
And there's also an otherworldly threat to Callie. Warring
fae factions, attached to the creative communities of
American society, are very aware of the role this
half-mortal, half-fae teenage girl plays in their fate.
