"Chime" by Franny Billingsley
Published: March 1, 2011
Before
Briony's stepmother died, she made sure Briony blamed herself for all the
family's hardships. Now Briony has worn her guilt for so long it's become a
second skin. She often escapes to the swamp, where she tells stories to the
Old Ones, the spirits who haunt the marshes. But only witches can see the Old
Ones, and in her village, witches are sentenced to death. Briony lives in
fear her secret will be found out, even as she believes she deserves the
worst kind of punishment.
Then Eldric comes along with his golden lion eyes and mane of tawny hair. He's as natural as the sun, and treats her as if she's extraordinary. And everything starts to change. As many secrets as Briony has been holding, there are secrets even she doesn't know. |
