by Jenny Birch (Author)
In this fresh and imaginative contemporary fantasy, a golem must master the magic that binds her together and finds an unexpected ally in the mysterious boy sent to ensure her demise.
Terra Slater might not know anything about her birth family or where she comes from, but that's never stopped her, and she fully intends her senior year to be her best yet. Until the dark and mysterious Thorne Wilder--a magical bounty hunter--moves to town, bringing revelations that wreck all of her plans. When Terra learns she is a golem, not born but crafted from mud and magic by a warlock, her world is upended. Worse, Cyrus Quill, the warlock who made her, is a fugitive, on the run from the witches who want to hold him accountable for his past crimes. But Quill's sentence is death, which would unravel the threads of magic that hold Terra--and all of the other golems that he crafted--together. Desperate to save herself and her friends, Terra strikes a deal with Thorne and his coven to preserve the warlock's life and his magic. If she can prove her worth to the coven by mastering the magic within her, the golems will survive. If she can't, they'll perish along with Cyrus. As Thorne helps her to see and manipulate the tapestry of magic that surrounds them, their unexpected alliance evolves into something more and Terra comes to understand the depths of her magic, her humanity, and her love for the people most important to her.Author Biography
