Forbidden
to leave her island, Isabella dreams of
the faraway lands her cartographer father once mapped. When her friend
disappears, she volunteers to guide the search. The world beyond
the walls is a monster-filled wasteland – and beneath the dry
rivers and smoking mountains, a fire demon is stirring from its
sleep. Soon, following her map, her heart and an ancient myth,
Isabella discovers the true end of her journey: to save the island
itself.
Beautiful, thrilling and magical, Sunday Times
bestselling-author Kiran Millwood Hargrave’s debut novel has all
the makings of a modern classic.
