Life here is full of laughter and peace, as well as hard work, and no one bothers overmuch about the outside world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Except Jenn Nalynn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jenn longs to travel, to seek what's missing in her life. Not that she's sure what that is, but since this summer began, she's felt a strange and powerful yearning. She's certain she'll find what she needs, if only she can leave the valley. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But she must not. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jenn is turn-born and cursed, born by the light of two worlds and bound to both. For the valley is more than it seems. Long ago, a cataclysm of misused power pinned Marrowdell to the Verge, a place of wild magic, home to dragons and even stranger creatures. Should Jenn step beyond Marrowdell, she will pull the worlds asunder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To prevent this, powers from the Verge have sent a guard to watch over her, a disgraced dragon Jenn knows as Wisp, her invisible playmate. Wisp's duty is to keep Jenn in Marrowdell. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By love, if he can. By her death, if he must. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But time is running out. What Jenn unknowingly feels is the rise of the Verge's magic within her, a magic that will threaten her and those she loves. Worse, this summer will end with a Great Turn, and strangers seeking power at any cost have come to Marrowdell to try to force an opening into the Verge, to the ruin of all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Daw Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780756416485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.90d","brand":"Julie E.
