*2013 Next Generation Indie Book Award Finalist* Seventeen-year-old
Groundling, Fennel, is Sightless. She's never been able to see her
lush forest home, but she knows its secrets. She knows how the
shadows shift when she passes under a canopy of trees. She knows
how to hide in the cool, damp caves when the Scourge comes. She
knows how devious and arrogant the Groundlings' tree-dwelling
neighbors, the Lofties, can be. And she's always known this day
would come--the day she faces the Scourge alone. The Sightless,
like Fenn, are mysteriously protected from the Scourge, the
gruesome creatures roaming the forests, reeking of festering flesh
and consuming anything--and anyone--living. A Sightless Groundling
must brave the Scourge and bring fresh water to the people of the
forest. Today, that task becomes Fenn's. Fenn will have a Lofty
Keeper, Peree, as her companion. Everyone knows the Lofties
wouldn't hesitate to shoot an arrow through the back of an
unsuspecting Groundling like Fenn, but Peree seems different. A boy
with warm, rough hands who smells like summer, he is surprisingly
kind and thoughtful. Although Fenn knows his people are
treacherous, she finds herself wanting to trust him. As their
forest community teeters on the brink of war, Fenn and Peree must
learn to work together to survive the Scourge and ensure their
people's survival. But when Fenn uncovers a secret that shatters
her truths, she's forced to decide who and what to protect--her
people, her growing love for Peree, or the elusive dream of lasting
peace in the forest. A tale of star-crossed lovers, strange
creatures, and secretive, feuding factions, THE SCOURGE introduces
readers to a rich and exciting new world where nothing is as it
seems.
