She rips it open with one driving thought: I am finally going to know who I am. She soon learns not only the identity of her birth parents, but also that she is the sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion on the banks of the Thames in London’s fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth millions. Everything in Libby’s life is about to change. But what she can’t possibly know is that others have been waiting for this day as well—and she is on a collision course to meet them. Twenty-five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of a baby crying. When they arrived, they found a healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the bedroom. Downstairs in the kitchen lay three dead bodies, all dressed in black, next to a hastily scrawled note. And the four other children reported to live at Cheyne Walk were gone. The can’t-look-away story of three entangled families living in a house with the darkest of secrets.

An action-packed, thought-provoking romantic fantasy set in a richly imagined world of myth and mystery Sixteen-year-old thief Ava must set sail for the new world tonight to escape the life of servitude that awaits every child who comes of age in the temple city. All that stands between her and a life of freedom is one last job: stealing the pharmaka to pay for her passage west. She’s stolen from the mysterious priestesses countless times before. What could possibly go wrong? On the other side of the temple city, sixteen-year-old field hand Dom bids a final farewell to the only home he’s ever known. The priestesses have promised he’ll find purpose in the life of hard labor that lies ahead of him, and he hopes they’re right. What other choice does he have? When Ava’s path collides with Dom’s in the dark forest, they discover the stolen pharmaka has some unfortunate side effects. Like it or not, Dom and Ava are stuck with each other. But what possible future could exist for a girl who’s determined to escape her bondage and a boy who’s never imagined the possibility of freedom? On the eve of their Calling Day, Dom and Ava’s first meeting sets in motion an adventure of mythic proportions, spanning millennia and bridging worlds.
