In Ellie Caster’s town of Bishop’s Gap, the feuding Caster and Levy families both dread the mark, a scorch that brings a curse from the Burning Tree.
Helen Dent’s debut The Burning Tree brings magical realism to rural Georgia, untangling thickets of familial strife with colorful characters and verdant prose.
Connected by the past, but forced apart in the present, Noelle and Dante must discover the truth about the Firefly and Vestiges before they lose all hope—and each other—for good.
