Folklore and a hidden conflict in Sykesville

Bijou Fitzroy’s life has been shaped by her empathic abilities and her grandmother’s protectiveness, leaving her isolated and homeschooled. A move to Sykesville brings a change in routine: she begins attending the local high school, where disappearances and creatures from her nightmares draw her into a secret war. The setup connects Bijou’s first experience of school and community with a supernatural conflict rooted in folklore. The story combines young-adult coming-of-age elements with fantasy and a mystery surrounding the events in town.

"A twisty page-turner rooted in folklore with a 21st century spin. The unfolding tale keeps the reader guessing right to the end."

"Hauntingly captivating. Perfect for fans of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and all things myth and fantasy. I can't wait to read the next one!"

- YA Literature, Media, and Culture Research Network

 

"Sang Kromah weaves a tale rich in drama and TV melodrama! This is Buffy on acid, with all the colorful characters one would expect and more. Twists and turns - and twin heartthrobs - had me hooked from the start. A saga for the ages, and the teenagers."

- Micayla Lally
