ROAD OF THE LOST
Perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince, this gorgeous fantasy follows a girl who discovers she's spent her life under an enchantment hiding her true identity on her quest into the magical Otherworld to unlock her powers and discover her destiny.
Even the most powerful magic can't hide a secret forever.
Croi is a brownie. She lives in the Wilde Forest, outside the human city, with her guardian. Her life is lonely at times, but she is happy with the sunshine and her magick, weak though it may be. Then, her guardian gives Croi a book about magick from the Otherworld, the world of the Higher Fae. Croi wakes the next morning with something pulling at her core - summoning her to the Otherworld. It's a spell she can neither control or deny.
Forced to leave her home, Croi begins a journey full of surprises - and dangers. For Croi is not really a brownie at all, but another creature entirely. Someone else breathes beneath the skin she is in. As Croi ventures beyond the forest, her brownie glamour begins to break. She discovers an identity she never knew existed, and a power rising to the surface within her. Who is she really, and who is summoning her, and what do they want? Who is the fae boy who keeps trespassing in her dreams? Croi will need every ounce of her newfound magic and her courage as she travels a treacherous road to find her true self, and the place in the Otherworld where she belongs.
Nafiza Azad was born in Fiji and spent the first seventeen years of her life as a self-styled Pacific Islander. Now she identifies as an Indo-Fijian Muslim Canadian. Nafiza has a love for languages and currently speaks four. She holds a Master of Arts degree in Children's Literature from the University of British Columbia and co-runs The Book Wars (thebookwars.ca), a website dedicated to all things children's literature. Nafiza currently lives in British Columbia with her family. She is the author of The Candle and the Flame and The Wild Ones.
