Publisher Description
A NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • A secluded village holds a dark secret, known only to the few who dare to speak of it.
“Part mystery, part fantasy, this beautifully written page turner explores guilt, mercy, and love.”—New York Times bestselling author Holly Black
“Exquisite to the final word.”—Booklist, starred review
“Both lushly sensual and shivery.”—School Library Journal, starred review
Briony has a secret.
It is a secret that killed her stepmother, ruined her sister’s mind, and will end her life, if anyone were to know.
Briony is a witch. And she can see the Old Ones, the spirits who haunt the marshes surrounding their town—the Dark Muse, the Reed Spirits, Mucky Face, the Wythes. She is the only one who can, besides the Chime Child who sentences witches to death. Then Eldric comes along with his golden lion eyes and a great mane of tawny hair. He is as natural as the sun, and he treats her as if she is extraordinary. And everything starts to change. . . .
Customer Reviews
Wonderful!
Why:
-Briony is self-deprecating; not so much that she looks like shes trying to get attention, but she does it in a way thats seems perfectly reasonable. funny, even.
-detailed descriptions that don't weigh the book down
-engrossing voice
-i can't remember the rest since i've read this a few months ago. but i still remember it was awesome.
for a better review, look it up on google.

Jane Eyre meets Harry Potter. I loved it!
Has My Heart
This book will forever have my heart. I have read this book every year for the past 10 years. I would recommend it to everyone I meet if I wasn’t so afraid of giving them a peak at my inner most self.
The story is unique and layered. With a love interest that is a friendship first. The star of this novel is Briony herself.
