Fans of The Rose Society, Graceling, and Six of Crows will
thrill to the masterful world-building and fiercely flawed heroine in
this heart-pounding follow-up to Julia Vanishes, book two in the
Witch's Child trilogy.
"Adventure, murder, romance, intrigue, and betrayal with a 16-year-old
heroine that is both fierce and flawed at the same time."
--Hypable.com
Julia and a mismatched band of revolutionaries, scholars, and thieves
have crossed the world searching for a witch. But for all the miles
traveled, they are no closer to finding Ko Dan. No closer to undoing the
terrible spell he cast that bound an ancient magic to the life of a
small child. Casimir wants that magic--will happily kill Theo to extract
it--and every moment they hunt for Ko Dan, Casimir's assassins are
hunting them.
Julia can deal with danger. The thing that truly scares her lies within.
Her strange ability to vanish to a place just out of sight has grown:
she can now disappear so completely that it's like stepping into another
world. It's a fiery, hellish world, filled with creatures who seem to
recognize her--and count her as one of their own.
So . . . is Julia a girl with a monster lurking inside her? Or a monster
wearing the disguise of a girl?
If she can use her monstrous power to save Theo, does it matter?
In this riveting second book in the Witch's Child trilogy, Catherine
Egan goes deep within the heart of a fierce, defiant girl trying to
discover not just who but what she truly is.
