Leigh Bardugo meets The Sixth Sense in this story of one girl's
perilous journey to restore a lost order.
Imagine you live with your aunt, who hates you so much she's going to
sell you into a dreadful apprenticeship. Imagine you run away before
that can happen. Imagine that you can see ghosts--and talk with the
dead. People like you are feared, even shunned.
Now imagine . . . the first people you encounter after your escape are a
mysterious stranger and a ghost boy, who seem to need you
desperately--though you don't understand who they are or exactly what
they want you to do. So you set off on a treacherous journey, with only
a ghost dog for company. And you find that what lies before you is a
task so monumental that it could change the world.

"This is a beautifully written story that emphasizes intelligence and
diplomacy. Recommend to fans of Patricia Wrede and Tamora Pierce, as
well as lovers of traditional fantasy." --School Library Journal,
