The Luminaries

Más información sobre el libro

From Susan Dennard, the New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlands series, comes a haunting contemporary fantasy about confronting fears in a nightmare-filled forest and uncovering family secrets. An Instant New York Times Bestseller and a Barnes & Noble YA Book Club Pick, this story unfolds in Hemlock Falls, a town that isn’t on any map, where phones fail and the surrounding forest poses deadly threats. Winnie Wednesday longs to join the Luminaries, an ancient order dedicated to protecting her town and humanity from the monsters that emerge nightly. After her father is branded a witch and traitor, Winnie’s family faces ostracism. On her sixteenth birthday, she has the chance to prove her loyalty by taking the perilous Luminary hunter trials and restoring her family's honor—or die trying. To survive, she seeks help from Jay Friday, her ex-best friend and the town’s most promising new hunter, who harbors secrets about the forest’s nightmares. Together, they will uncover dangers that threaten Hemlock Falls in ways no one anticipates. Not all monsters can be defeated, and not all nightmares remain in the dark.
