CHILD OF LIGHT

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The  electrifying first novel of an all-new fantasy series from the legendary  author behind the Shannara saga, about a human girl struggling to find  her place in a magical world she’s never known

“Enticing . . . Brooks’s fans will be thrilled to have a new series to savor.”—Publishers Weekly

At  nineteen, Auris Afton Grieg has led an . . . unusual life. Since the  age of fourteen, she has been trapped in a Goblin prison. Why? She does  not know. She has no memories of her past beyond the vaguest of  impressions. All she knows is that she is about to age out of the  children’s prison, and rumors say that the adult version is far, far  worse. So she and some friends stage a desperate escape into the  surrounding wastelands. And it is here that Auris’s journey of discovery  begins, for she is rescued by a handsome yet alien stranger.

Harrow  claims to be Fae—a member of a magical race that Auris had thought to  be no more than legend. Odder still, he seems to think that she is Fae  as well, although the two look nothing alike. But strangest of all, when  he brings her to his wondrous homeland, she begins to suspect that he  is right. Yet how could a woman who looks entirely Human be a magical  being herself?

Told with a fresh, energetic voice, this fantasy  puzzle box is Terry Brooks as you have never seen him before, as one  young woman slowly unlocks truths about herself and her world—and, in  doing so, begins to heal both.
