A genre-bending thriller from internationally bestselling author Stefan
Bachmann perfect for fans of The Maze Runner and Joss Whedon's The
Cabin in the Woods. "A fast-paced thrill ride . . . Chilling . . . The
suspense begins from the first page. I Know What You Did Last Summer
meets Frankenstein."--YA Books Central
Seventeen-year-old Anouk has finally caught the break she's been looking
for--she's been chosen to participate in an exclusive program that
includes an all-expenses-paid trip to France and a chance to explore the
hidden underground Palais du Papillon, or Palace of the Butterfly. Along
with four other gifted teenagers, Anouk will be one of the first people
to set foot in the palace in more than two hundred years. But the
expedition is not all it seems. The students' supposed benefactors are
trying to kill them. And so is the palace itself, which is filled with
deadly traps and invisible monsters. Can Anouk and the others figure out
how to work together and escape? Bachmann's masterful scene-building
alternates between Anouk's flight through the palace and the struggles
of Aurélie, who escaped the French Revolution by fleeing into the Palais
du Papillon in 1789. "Certain to please those who demand constant action
blended with their historical fiction."--Booklist
