Ngan _____________________________________________THE RESISTANCE STARTS HERE.No one speaks of
the grace year. It's forbidden. We're told we have the power to lure grown men from their beds
make boys lose their minds  and drive the wives mad with jealousy. That's why we're banished
for our sixteenth year  to release our magic into the wild before we're allowed to return to
civilisation. But I don't feel powerful. I don't feel magical. Tierney James lives in an
isolated village where girls are banished at sixteen to the northern forest to brave the
wilderness - and each other - for a year. They must rid themselves of their dangerous magic
before returning purified and ready to marry - if they're lucky. It is forbidden to speak of
the grace year  but even so every girl knows that the coming year will change them - if they
survive it... A critically acclaimed page-turning feminist dystopia about a young woman trapped
in an oppressive society  fighting to take control of her own life. 'Beautiful  devastating

reading' Libba Bray  New York Times bestselling author of The Diviners and A Great and Terrible
