"Rebecca Podos, Lambda Award-winning author of Like Water, returns with a contemporary Jewish fantasy of enduring love, unfathomable loss, and the power of stories to hold us together when it seems that nothing else can.
Hannah’s whole life has been spent in motion. Her mother has kept her and her brother, Gabe, on the road for as long as she can remember, leaving a trail of rental homes and faded relationships behind them. No roots, no family but one another, and no explanations.
All that changes on Hannah’s seventeenth birthday when she wakes up transformed, a pair of golden eyes with knife-slit pupils blinking back at her from the mirror—the first of many such impossible mutations. Promising that she knows someone who can help, her mother leaves Hannah and Gabe behind to find a cure. But as the days turn to weeks and their mother doesn’t return, they realize it’s up to them to find the truth.
What they discover is a family they never knew and a history more tragic and fantastical than Hannah could have dreamed—one that stretches back to her grandmother’s childhood in Prague under the Nazi occupation, and beyond, into the realm of Jewish mysticism and legend. As the past comes crashing into the present, Hannah must hurry to unearth their family’s secrets in order to break the curse and save the people she loves most, as well as herself.

This compelling puzzle of a story, filled with engrossing twists and turns, is written in alternating prose and text message formats. Teens will gobble up this fast-paced novel."

…Didi is terrified of what he may one day ask.
But she might be more prepared than her father ever expected."

"A Eric Bergman le solían tratar como a un marginado, un tullido y un bicho. Algunos se compadecían de él, otros se retorcían en su presencia, mientras que otros aún se burlaban de él. Él mismo incluso pensaba que había nacido maldito por los dioses. Pero poco a poco, todo eso cambió. Lo que una vez fue considerado un defecto o fallo, se transformó en una ventaja. Y Eric aprendió lentamente a usarlo en su beneficio.
Eric y sus amigos escapan de la Colmena del Maestro Chi, viajan sobre la estepa de los orcos y a través del Bosque de Piedras, haciéndoles todo eso más fuertes.
Durante sus viajes, Eric descubre que su hermano mayor nunca fue a los Páramos, y que a sus padres les mintieron sobre lo que realmente le pasó. Eric se promete a sí mismo descubrir la verdad sobre su hermano perdido.
Más allá de eso, cuanto más se encuentra con la sombría herencia de la Orden de Cazadores de Monstruos, más se da cuenta de lo peligroso que es el juego en el que el hombre-zorro lo ha metido.
Avanzando a través de las tierras fronterizas hacia su ciudad natal, a pocos días de la Horda de Orcos, Eric aún no sabe que su aventura acaba de empezar."
