Description
A young woman becomes embroiled in both love and eldritch mystery after tragedy compels her to move to her grandmother's house on the New England coast. ? Melody Sparks' mother always said it'd take a cataclysm to bring her back to Marblehead, Maine - but now Jennifer is dead, and 16-year-old Mel finds herself being forced to return to an ancestral home she barely remembers, and the guardianship of her cantankerous grandmother Adaline. Yet Marblehead is more than the sleepy fishing town it pretends to be, and Mel soon becomes swept up in a secret society as old as the village itself. Caught between childhood neighbor Ethan Bradley and Keiko Arora, a mysterious exchange student who travels with a gypsy fleet, Mel will find her strength tested to the utmost as she fights to claim her rightful place within the tight-knit community. As cultural divides bring tensions to the brink of violence, Mel, Keiko, and Ethan must race the clock to defeat an otherwordly evil before it forever obliterates Marblehead's secrets - and with it, everything Mel could ever love. ? NYX is a Young Adult novel with elements of Lovecraftian horror, action, and romance. Story updates on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays!
