Reseña del editor:

The stories say The Old Ones built wonderful cities, flew through the air and could send messages across the globe in the time it takes for an arrow to find its target. Caylen's seen enough relics to believe at least some of that, but she doesn't regret living in her world instead of theirs. She's a nomad, making her home in the Wildlands between the islands of civilization in the fortified cities. Her world can be dangerous, but she can't imagine living any other way. When her band of nomads rescues a young nobleman from Yorkton, Caylen's mother wants to deliver him to the nearest waypost, collect her reward, and move on. But Caylen is intrigued by Logan, and worried that his predictions of trouble for the nomads may be accurate. In order to protect the Wildlands she loves, Caylen has to leave them behind. In the city, she's not sure if she can trust anyone, not even Logan. And the more she learns, the more she realizes that she's far from the only one in danger. Her enemy is powerful and ruthless, and the cruelty she sees makes Caylen dream of the simplicity of the Wildlands. But she can't walk away from the suffering, so she'll have to stay and fight. It's the nomad way.

Biografía del autor:

I work in a high school library, and all day long I help kids find books that they’ll enjoy reading. It’s a fantastic job and I have a lot of fantastic books to chose from, but sometimes... sometimes I think there’s room for just a little more fantastic! My first YA novel is Dark Houses, a sci-fi story set in a future after we’ve run out of oil and other fossil fuels. Life has gotten a lot simpler, and also a lot more dangerous! I’m also working on a contemporary YA novel, and have ideas for about seven hundred more jotted down on various slips of paper. I didn’t start writing until fairly late (not quite middle-age, I wouldn’t say, but solidly into adulthood) but I feel like my lifetime of voracious reading and imagining has prepared me well. All I need now is the time to get the ideas out of my head and onto the screen!
