Seventeen-year-old Malliven Quickthorn has survived by her wits, picking pockets, slipping through shadows, and trusting no one. But when a strange crystal shard binds itself to her pulse, she's dragged into a realm that shouldn't exist, Elsewhere, a world stitched together from forgotten dreams and fractured memories. Hunted by a fanatical order called the Restorationists, Malliven must join forces with an exiled knight, a mapmaker who can't stop rewriting the truth, and a raven who remembers too much. Together, they uncover a secret that could either mend the worlds, or shatter them completely. As the Shard's power grows, Malliven faces an impossible choice: cling to the life she's fought for, or embrace the destiny she never wanted. Lyrical, darkly imaginative, and cinematic in scope, The Shard of Elsewhere is the first book in a sweeping fantasy series where nothing stays forgotten-and even the lost can find their way home.
