About This Book
Reach for this book if your teenager is struggling with the feeling that their family or community is keeping them in the dark about their own life. It is an ideal choice for the teen who feels misunderstood or is attempting to untangle a complicated past to find their true self. This haunting story follows seventeen-year-old Clementine, who was magically imprisoned for a decade and must now navigate a small town's dark secrets and her own awakening power. While the setting is steeped in eerie magic and gothic horror, the core of the story is about reclaiming identity and personal agency. It explores the heavy weight of family legacy and the courage it takes to break free from the roles others have assigned us. Due to its atmospheric tension, mild profanity, and scenes of magical violence, it is best suited for mature readers aged 14 and up who enjoy complex emotional journeys wrapped in a supernatural mystery.
