Their god blessed their island Soladisa as a haven for his followers, but to keep the devil at bay, the church sends a child sacrifice to hell's entrance every season--often poor or plain girls just like Alesta. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a head full of ideas for inventions, Alesta knows her best shot at making it to adulthood is to design something impressive for the festival exhibition so she might win a spot in the university--acceptance could guarantee her safety. But Alesta's flying machine demonstration goes awry, a failure that will surely mean death. What happens is worse: Her best friend and heir to the throne, Kyrian, takes the blame expecting leniency but ends up sacrificed in her place. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo stop the sacrifices forever, Alesta plans to kill the monster that killed her friend. Prepared to save her kingdom or die trying, she travels to the depths of hell only to find Kyrian--alive, but monstrously transformed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere is no escaping hell or their growing feelings for one another, and the deeper they descend into hell, the closer they come to uncovering a truth about the sacrifices that threatens to invoke the wrath of not only monsters but the gods as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leanne Schwartz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1645678407\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645678403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Page Street YA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 5.76w x 1.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2024 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2024 pg. 80","brand":"Leanne Schwartz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44212937064703,"sku":"9781645678403","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6fb65b58-c8fd-4323-a5c0-092c2d9394bc.jpg?v=1692111132","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-a-darker-shore-leanne-schwartz-9781645678403","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
