A slow-brewing, increasingly exciting, and deeply provocative fantasy world. --Booklist Against the backdrop of a desolate and mystical town, New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst writes an arresting, fantastical novel of one woman's impossible journey--and her quest to find her fate. Lost your way? Your dreams? Yourself? Welcome to Lost. It was supposed to be a small escape. A few hours' driving before turning around and heading home.
