Book description
Two sisters are trapped on opposite sides of reality in this entrancing and deeply moving debut novel that weaves together a contemporary narrative with a parallel fantasy world of Trinidadian lore. One year ago, a tragic car accident killed 22-year-old Laine's parents and left her 18-year-old sister, Alyssa, paralyzed and nonverbal. Now--instead of studying animal nutrition or competing as one of the few equestrians of color--Laine is struggling with predatory banks, unscrupulous health care organizations, and rude customers at the coffee shop where she works. That's why when Lake Forest Adult Day Center offers to take care of Alyssa, free of charge, Laine is nothing but ecstatic. Alyssa isn't ecstatic, though. After all, in her mind, there was never a car accident. Instead, she and her parents--the king and queen of Mirendal--were attacked one year ago in the forest, her parents kidnapped while she was cursed, and now must spend her days in Lake Forest's Home for Changels--a temple caring for mortals such as herself. Perhaps there, she could meet other changels who show her how to embrace her new life. However, there is a dark prince at Lake Forest, one who has taken a peculiar interest in not only Alyssa but her sister as well. And while Laine struggles to make ends meet on an everyday basis, Alyssa finds herself leading a battle that threatens to destroy not only her and her sister but their entire kingdom.
