Description
When seventeen-year-old Valerie flees to New York City seeking escape from a shattered life, she discovers an unexpected refuge among a group of squatters living in the city's hidden subway tunnels. Adopting a new identity, Val is drawn into their world—a place that glimmers with dark allure and dangerous secrets. As she becomes entangled in her friends' mysterious connection to a supernatural creature, Val finds herself caught between growing affection for an unlikely ally and mounting dread about the true nature of those closest to her. Holly Black weaves a haunting urban fantasy that explores themes of belonging, betrayal, and the monsters we choose to trust. With atmospheric prose and morally complex characters, this gripping tale asks what we're willing to sacrifice for connection in the darkest corners of the city.
