The critically acclaimed author of The House at the End of Hope
Street combines love, mystery, and magic with her first foray into
bewitching fantasy with a dark edge evocative of V.E. Schwab and Neil
Gaiman.
Once upon a time, a demon who desired earthly domination fathered an
army of dark daughters to help him corrupt humanity . . .
As children, Goldie, Liyana, Scarlet, and Bea dreamed of a strange
otherworld: a nightscape of mists and fog, perpetually falling leaves
and hungry ivy, lit by an unwavering moon. Here, in this shadowland of
Everwhere, the four girls, half-sisters connected by blood and magic,
began to nurture their elemental powers together. But at thirteen, the
sisters were ripped from Everwhere and separated. Now, five years later,
they search for one another and yearn to rediscover their unique and
supernatural strengths. Goldie (earth) manipulates plants and gives
life. Liyana (water) controls rivers and rain. Scarlet (fire) has
electricity at her fingertips. Bea (air) can fly.
To realize their full potential, the blood sisters must return to the
land of their childhood dreams. But Everwhere can only be accessed
through certain gates at 3:33 A.M. on the night of a new moon. As
Goldie, Liyana, Scarlet, and Bea are beset with the challenges of their
earthly lives, they must prepare for a battle that lies ahead. On their
eighteenth birthday, they will be subjected to a gladiatorial fight with
their father's soldiers. If they survive, they will face their father
who will let them live only if they turn dark. Which would be fair, if
only the sisters knew what was coming.
So, they have thirty-three days to discover who they truly are and what
they can truly do, before they must fight to save themselves and those
they love.
