Description

Obscura, cautivante y completamente única, esta evocadora fantasía histórica escrita por la autora aclamada por la crítica Laura E. Weymouth es perfecta para los fans de The Hazel Wood y Caraval.

Violet Sterling ha pasado los últimos siete años en el exilio deseando regresar a la Casa Burleigh. Siendo una de las seis Casas Grandes de Inglaterra, la magia de Burleigh ha mantenido muy felices tanto a la campiña como a Violet.

Esto fue así hasta que la traición de su padre haya destruido todo.

Ahora se le ha dado la oportunidad de regresar a su hogar, pero Burleigh no es el mismo lugar que ella recordaba. Atormentada de dolor, el alma de la Casa Burleigh llora en pena. Mientras su magia apesadumbrada hace estragos en la campiña, Vi tiene que decidir hasta donde está dispuesta a llegar para salvar su casa… antes que esta destruya todo lo que ella ha conocido hasta ahora.

Una casa sin control puede llevarte a la ruina,

pero no dejaré que me arruine a mí.

“A piercing, luminous tale of legacies and devotion, and the many faces of home: a place you remember being loved, a place you fight to protect, and a place that may eat you alive.” — Rosamund Hodge, author of Cruel Beauty

“Haunting and beautiful, The Light Between Worlds is a love story to siblings, to the belief in magic, to discovering where you belong.” — Lori M Lee, author of the Gates of Thread and Stone series

The Light Between Worlds is a lyrical exploration of one’s true place – in the people we love, in ourselves, or in woodland realms beyond our ken – and the lengths we take to chase it.” — Destenie Fafard, Celler Door Books (Riverside, CA)

I will never be the same after reading it." — Margaret Rogerson, New York Times bestselling author of An Enchantment of Ravens

“With such lush, lyrical prose, this book grips your heart and doesn’t let go until the last, stunning sentence.”

“Finally, an “after Narnia” book that balances hope and loss, longing and belonging. It’s about coming back to the real world, but it’s magical.” — Erin Bow, author of The Scorpion Rules

“Even as Evelyn and Philippa navigate their exile from another world, Laura Weymouth reveals to us the real magic--born of sisterhood, nature, love and resilience--that resides in our own. THE LIGHT BETWEEN WORLDS is transfixing and unforgettable.” — Sara Holland, New York Times bestselling author of Everless

“Weymouth offers a picture of severe depression beautified by her own luminous prose...she evokes a sense of empathy for Evelyn, and offers absolution and redemption for Philippa, who has to believe that her sister is in a better place.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“Anyone who knows that feeling of being in love with a fantasy world as a child can understand the longing that Evelyn feels for the Woodlands…. I am so compelled by this story and by these sisters who have lived in another world and must find contentment in our own.” — NPR

“More than just an entertaining read…[The Light Between Worlds is] filled with great characters, a timely theme, a perfectly captured setting, and a willingness to not only ask but dwell with the most enduring question in fantasy literature, ‘what happens when our heroes and heroines return home?’ I can think of no better fantasy book to share with a young adult.” — The NarniaFans Book Reviews
