A prickly girl, an arrogant boy & a vengeful ghost weave a dance of death in this multi-awarded Upper YA Dystopian-Gothic Fantasy for fans of Laini Taylor, Holly Black, Kendare Blake & V.E. Schwab. In a drowned city where hope kills and dreams are deadly, one wrong thought can end your life. Haunted 17-year-old outcast Cole is desperate to suppress her mysterious and macabre obsession with the Mara-taken before she becomes their next victim. But when a young rebel with unsettling gold eyes offers a chance to escape her rule-bound existence, it—and he—proves an even more deadly distraction. The body count is on the rise and the ghost who won't leave her side isn't the only one with something to hide. Join Cole on a whirlwind mission of truth-seeking and vengeance, from the perilous heights of her suffocatingly secretive homeland to the glittering club lurking below the floodwaters. Can she untangle the lies, take back her power, and stop the dying before the Nightmares eat her alive?
