[Young Adult Fiction (Ages 12-17)][Read by Amy Landon] New York Times bestselling fantasy author Mercedes Lackey breaks into the YA genre with a dangerous, utterly original futuristic world in which a fearless teen girl stands between bloodthirsty monsters and the safety of a city. They came after the Diseray. Some were terrors ripped from our collective imaginations, remnants of every mythology across the world. And some were like nothing anyone had ever dreamed up, even in their worst nightmares. . . Monsters. Long ago, the barriers between our world and the Otherworld were ripped open, and it's taken centuries to bring back civilization in the wake. Now, the luckiest Cits live in enclosed communities, behind walls that keep them safe from the hideous monsters fighting to break through.
