Любое предательство ранит очень больно. А если его совершили лучшие подруги и, что еще ужаснее, родная мать, то... В общем, комментарии излишни.
Семнадцатилетняя Валери Рассел сбегает из родного городка в Нью-Йорк, чтобы начать там новую жизнь, и оказывается в компании бродяг, обитающих в лабиринтах городской подземки.
Однако вскоре выясняется, что они там далеко не одни. В самых укромных уголках бесчисленных туннелей прячутся фейри - сказочные существа, в реальность которых современному человеку трудно поверить.
Знакомство со страшным и в то же время необыкновенно благородным троллем по имени Равус ставит Валери перед нелегким выбором.

In a society similar to ours in some ways and very different in others, 16-year-old Serena and her older sister, Willow, struggle to get by in a tough, crime-infested urban neighborhood. By birth they are half Yulang, half Gorgio, but are accepted by neither race. The sisters get no help from the Yulang, because Willow’s child was born out of wedlock and the family has been declared outcast. The Gorgios are even worse, trying to take the child away.

A run-in with social services, aptly nicknamed the Cruelty, launches Serena on a journey that is at once an escape and a quest to reunite her family. With the help of a boy named Shem, who is on a quest of his own, Serena travels deep into the mountains, where precious gems are mined, and across barren plains, where white-clad Trident Riders are terrorizing anyone who is not Gorgio. Along the way, Serena finds the answers she seeks—and some she didn’t even know she was looking for.

The dynamics of racism and resistance are central themes of this modern adventure. Employing a mixture of gritty reality and richly drawn magical elements, this unique tale of selfdiscovery will captivate readers of contemporary fiction as well as fantasy fans.

When Rosita was tiny, her papa disappeared. She and her mama had to go and live in an ugly place, outside the warm city in the frozen wilderness. Rosita didn't know the ugly place was a prison camp, and she didn't understand her mama's magic. She only knew she had to keep the secret until Mama said it was time to start on the great jorney, through the forest and across the sea of ice, to safety. But once Rosita grew up to be a tough, cynical girl called Sloe, hardened by grim years in the prison school, Mama was gone. Sloe had to make the jorney alone, pursued by a mysterious and all-powerful enemy, and carrying the living treasure that she knew was the hope of the world. Sloe becomes a heroine, equal to anything, in this dazzling bled of science, adventure and fairy tale.

It is 1969, and Ruba has just moved to Mississippi from Haiti to live with her Grandmother Jones. This world is very different from her old life, where she spent days beachcombing with Ba, her maternal grandmother, and learning the lore of magic and history that she holds close. But magic isn't welcome in her new grandmother's house. Ruba struggles to understand her strange surroundings and the hate that comes at her from some of the white people in town. It isn't long before Ruba finds herself threatened by the KKK and drawn into the fight for civil rights. But a hurricane barreling toward the coast changes everything, bringing Ruba and her family a measure of justice and a new acceptance.
