DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE:
Daughter Of Smoke And Bone by Laini Taylor
Daughter Of Smoke And Bone by Laini Taylor
Make A Wish!
With
her blue hair, imaginative stories and mysterious nature, Karou was not
your average girl. When asked she would tell you she was raised by
monsters, that her hair was blue because she wished it so, and that when
she disappeared it was simply to run errands. Of cause no one really
believed in monsters, wishes or simple errands that left behind bruises
and bullet wounds. It was all just a part of her creative imagination.
Only it wasn't her imagination, the monsters were real, and they were
the only family she had ever known.
Karou was living two
lives, that of an imaginative, art student living in the human world and
that of an errand girl to a monster who deals in wishes and who was
brought up Elsewhere. However when an ancient enemy returns and the
connection to Elsewhere is lost as the doorways become closed off to her
leaving her trapped in the human world, Karou is left helpless and
alone. Being human it is where she belongs, however Elsewhere is the
only home she has ever known, her only family is there and with no way
left through, she can only hope she will see them again.
Daughter Of Smoke And Bone
weaves you through the back streets and ally ways of some of the worlds
most famous cities in search for teeth, truth and the doorway to
another world. A highly imaginative and colourful beginning to a series
full of art, languages, monsters, angels and a war that has raged for
centuries with no end in sight. Despite this there is love, hope, the
dream of peace and a new way to live. A uniquely magical story that is
intelligent, funny, revealing and all together heartbreaking.
