Synopsis: A dark forest, a screaming woman and blood. These are the images that haunt seventeen year old Emma from the moment she meets Joe Castlellaw. And so much more awaits.
Emma Mathews never believed she was like everyone else, but neither did she think herself crazy. Meeting Joe Castlellaw, Henry Dearborn High’s newest student, was like waking on a cold rock in a strange place, the world bathed in liquid moonlight. Everything is different now…and fraught. Visions of a dark forest, a screaming woman and blood have begun to haunt Emma’s dreams, and not only at night. But Joe’s lonely beauty makes her float on air, and she would follow him anywhere—out of high school and through the great tree, to a world of poetry and political savagery, of magic and murder, to a life that is entirely theirs and yet unlike anything they have ever known.

An occasional travel writer, Mary Beth has written about Paris, Bordeaux, and Yorkshire, where she hiked the moors to the legendary setting for WUTHERING HEIGHTS and stood breathless in the parsonage room where Charlotte, Anne, and Emily Bronte talked out their stories with each other.

Excerpt:
“This is Joe Castlellaw,” Mr. Norway said. He pulled a kid from the open office door behind him like a reluctant rabbit out of a magician’s hat.
“Joe,” Mr. Norway said. “This is Emma Mathews.”
A tall boy, around her age, with long eyelashes and coffee-ice-cream skin glanced at her then looked away. The sun coming through the Diversity Club’s rainbow mobile made his thick dark hair look indigo blue.
“Joe moved here from Wolfeboro two weeks ago,” Mr. Norway said. “Today is his first day at Henry Dearborn High School.”
“Oh,” Emma said.
