An extraordinary debut weaving magic and heroism into a classic tale of good and evil, featuring a heroine you'll never forget.
Alexa Daley tiene doce años y va a pasar otras vacaciones de verano con su padre en Bridewell. Allí podrá explorar el viejo edificio donde se hospeda cada año, una antigua prisión llena de pasajes secretos, montones de habitaciones y una biblioteca estupenda. También quiere averiguar lo que existe más allá de la inmensa muralla que rodea la ciudad y que fue construida para proteger a la población del peligro que acecha en los bosques y los Montes Negros. Al investigar encuentra un antiguo hechizo que le confiere un extraño poder y un peligro que puede destruir su mundo.
Synopsis
Inquisitive twelve-year-old Alexa Daley is spending another summer in the walled town of Bridewell. This year, she is set on solving the mystery of what lies beyond the walls. Legend says the walls were built to keep out an unnamed evil that lurks in the forests and The Dark Hills. But what exactly is it that the townspeople are so afraid of?
As Alexa begins to unravel the truth, pushing beyond the protective barrier she's lived behind all her life, she discovers a strange and ancient enchantment -- and exposes a danger that could destroy everything she holds dear.
