The Deep Dark

From the creator of the New York Times and ABA Indie bestselling The Witch Boy trilogy and The Girl from the Sea, comes a darkly beautiful story of identity, family, love, loss, and magic. Description Everyone has secrets.Hers has teeth.

Magdalena Herrera is on the verge of graduating high school, but she already carries the weight of adulthood: caring for her ailing grandmother, working a part-time job, and sneaking around for secret makeouts with a girl who has a boyfriend. Then there’s her real secret — the one that drags her into the basement each night, drains her strength, and leaves her bleeding.A secret that could hurt, or even kill, if it ever got out.

Like it did once before. Mags tries to keep her head down, isolated in her small desert town — until her childhood friend Nessa returns, stirring up old memories, a dangerous longing, and a secret of her own. Mags won’t get attached.

She’s survived alone before.But when darkness begins to close in on them both, Mags will have to bring her secret into the light — and choose between risking everything, or losing what little she has left.
