In an unkind alternate past, somewhere between the Stone Age and a Metal Age, Tell and his sister Wren live in a small mountain village that makes its living off black glass mines and runs on brutal laws. When their father is blinded in a mining accident, the law dictates he has thirty days to regain his sight and be capable of working at the same level as before or be put to death. Faced with this dire future, Tell and Wren make the forbidden treacherous journey to the legendary city of Halfway, halfway down the mountain, to trade their fathers haul of the valuable black glass for the medicine to cure him. The city, ruled by five powerful female sorcerers, at first dazzles the siblings. But beneath Halfways glittery surface seethes ambition, violence, prejudice, blackmail, and impending chaos. Without knowing it, Tell and Wren have walked straight into a sorcerers coup. Over the next twelve days they must scramble first to save themselves, then their new friends, as allegiances shift and prejudices crack open to show who has true power. 521 2 $a Grades 5 - 8. 650 0 $a Siblings $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Parent and child $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Obsidian $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Quests (Expeditions) $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Magicians $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Adventure stories. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Children's audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Noble, Peter $c (Narrator), $e narrator. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Playaway Products, LLC, $e issuing body. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013155.0 952 $l RNPC397 $d 20240130012739.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8269D23E67FB11EE94078C7E4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
