Description

Night drops so rapidly in Howland the people there don't have any term for night. One minute the atmosphere is lighting, the following minute it's dark. But darkness is available in other styles, too, and for thirteen-year-old Annie, the agony she continues in her Uncle’s home makes the dark of night appear almost calming. When Annie escapes, her path requires her first into a harmful quarry where a valuable rock has been taken by an opponent of the king, and later towards the king’s own places, a number from Annie’s past makes a surprising look where.
