Overview

"Prepare for a luminous adventure in this highly original young adult epic fantasy novel by debut author B. D. Reeves. To everyone else, Jemma is nothing but a Wharf-thief. She scavenges for tokens in the wrestling dens and parades along the market lanes with a raven, Edgar, on her shoulder. But she and Edgar have a secret. In a land where memories fade into the Shadows without the love of a Keeper, they scour the ruins of ancient memory palaces, searching for treasure that will buy them a passage to the great city of Adocentyn. When Jemma steals a map and a golden blade, she sets in motion a chain of events that will tie her destiny to the survival of all who live in the light of Memory. Can Jemma defeat the darkness she has unleashed, without losing herself? And who is the voice she hears, guiding her along the way? ""I am with you. Follow the lights."" A wonderfully crafted story - excellent for those who enjoy narratives of friendship, complex characters and world-building, mystery, epic journeys, and a protagonist's discovery of their emerging powers."
