Overview

For as long as Fei can remember, there has been no sound in her village. The rocky terrain and frequent avalanches prevent residents from abandoning the town, so Fei and her people are at the mercy of a zip line that carries food up the treacherous cliffs from Beiguo, a mysterious faraway kingdom. When villagers begin to lose their sight, deliveries from the zipline shrink and many go hungry. Fei's home, the people she loves, and her entire existence is plunged into crisis, under threat of darkness and starvation. But soon Fei is awoken in the night by a searing noise, and sound becomes her weapon.

Reviews

"Like her heroine, Mead paints with a delicate brush, creating a fable like story that melds folktale, sacrifice, romance, and the stark realization of humanity's capacity to exploit others for profit."—Publishers Weekly, on the English-language edition

"Mead's original world building really shines here, as it did in her Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series. Fans of characters like Rose Hathaway and Sydney Sage will flock to this impressive stand-alone novel."—Booklist, on the English-language edition
