Lisey's Story
Quotes from the Book
To her, the sun is merely light, not a scourge. To her, the night is a blanket of stars, not a swath of fear and silence.
But that’s the thing about words. Once you’ve said them, there’s no going back.
What I cannot say to her—what I cannot even understand myself—is that sometimes, I fear the dark will swallow me whole.
Sometimes being extraordinary is to be extraordinarily lonely.
My mind refuses to focus on the one thing I know is true: Ma. Sprawled on the floor, soaked in blood, a dagger driven through her chest. 'What have you done, Shae?

About the book
They use magic to silence the world. Who will break the hush?
Seventeen-year-old Shae has led a seemingly quiet life, joking with her best friend Fiona, and chatting with Mads, the neighborhood boy who always knows how to make her smile. All while secretly keeping her fears at bay… Of the disease that took her brother’s life. Of how her dreams seem to bleed into reality around her. Of a group of justice seekers called the Bards who claim to use the magic of Telling to keep her community safe.
When her mother is murdered, she can no longer pretend.
Not knowing who to trust, Shae journeys to unlock the truth, instead finding a new enemy keen to destroy her, a brooding boy with dark secrets, and an untold power she never thought possible.
