'ENTHRALLING TO THE LAST PAGE' SHELLEY PARKER-CHAN    Filled with magic, stardust, and a shockingly dark heart, this is a stunning standalone fantasy perfect for fans of The Ten Thousand Doors of January, The Starless Sea and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.    For centuries, Everlys have seen their   brightest and best disappear, taken as punishment for a crime no one   remembers, for a purpose no one understands. Their tormentor is a woman named   Penelope, who never ages, never grows sick - and never forgives a debt.          Ten years ago, Violet Everly's mother left to break the curse, and never   returned. Now Violet must find her mother, or she will be taken in her place.          Her hunt leads her into a seductive magical underworld of power-hungry   scholars, fickle gods, and monsters bent on revenge. And into the path of   Penelope's quiet assistant, Aleksander, who she knows cannot be trusted - and   yet to whom she finds herself undeniably drawn.          Tied to a very literal deadline, Violet will travel to the edges of the world   to find her mother and the key to the city of stardust, where the Everly   story began . . .
