The Desert Wall (The Divided World, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Perfect for fans of The Theft of Sunlight and the Alanna books, this page-turning fantasy immerses readers in a vivid desert landscape and the mysteries and dangers that lie beyond the Wall.

Malenie doesn't need anyone…

By her fourteenth year, Melanie has learned how to survive on her own in the harsh reality of her small town. Bullies. Judgmental neighbors. A broken friendship. She also knows how to hide her secret, the one emblazoned on her skin that she herself barely understands.

Then a stranger comes to town, one who knows more about Malenie than she does, and he takes from her the person most precious in the world. Her Papa. To save her father, she must get in touch with her ancestral magic, dare to forge new friendships and confront a deadly villain. Papa's freedom, and her own, are bound up in secrets from the past and Malenie's own courage to face them.

The Desert Wall is the first book in a new series about friendship, families and magic.

Autor

Raf Morgan has prepared all her life to be a writer, though she didn't know it. Like that time she volunteered to protect sea turtles on a beach in Costa Rica and wound up with half her body in the nest at 3 am with a blue plastic bag under the turtle's butt to catch her eggs to relocate them so poachers couldn't find them. Or living in Bangkok, Thailand, which is where she is now for her day job. (She's from the USA, but she has also lived in Mexico, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.)Mostly she has worked as a technical editor and a Spanish to English translator in the US, Mexico City, Lima, Moscow and Surabaya, but she has also worked as a dog walker, on bilingual websites, and in criminal and family courts as an advocate. She has been asked to interpret from Portuguese even though she doesn't speak Portuguese (it was an emergency) and gotten up at 4 am to edit a meeting report and ended her day at the Bolshoi Theater watching Russian ballet. She also writes fantasy as R. Morgan.
