An ethereal fantasy by a New York Times bestselling editorial team
In a world split between the Inside and the Outside, those living in
both realms are told never to cross over to the other side, lest they be
cursed. A young girl named Shiva lives on the other side, in a vacant
village with a demonic guardian known only as "Teacher." Although the
two are forbidden to touch, they seem to share a bond that transcends
their disparate appearances. But when Shiva leaves Teacher's care to
seek out her grandmother, the secret behind her mysterious living
arrangement comes to light.
