Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent
Delights From William C. Morris Finalist Nafiza Azad comes a
thrilling, feminist fantasy about a group of teenage girls endowed
with special powers who must band together to save the life of the
boy whose magic saved them all. We are the Wild Ones, and we will
not be silenced. We are girls who have tasted the worst this world
can offer. Our story begins with Paheli, who was once betrayed by
her mother, sold to a man in exchange for a favor. When Paheli
escaped, she ran headlong into Taraana-a boy with stars in his
eyes, a boy as battered as she was. He tossed Paheli a box of stars
before disappearing. With the stars, Paheli gained access to the
Between, a place of pure magic and mystery. Now, Paheli collects
girls like us, and we use our magic to travel the world, helping to
save other girls from our pain, our scars. When Taraana reappears,
he asks for our help. Dangerous magical forces are chasing him, and
they will destroy him to get his powers. We will do everything to
save him-if we can. For if Taraana is no longer safe and free,
neither are the Wild Ones. And that is a fate that we refuse to
accept. Ever again.
