The Book of Sapphire and Shadow

Two months after her mother’s death, twelve-year-old Beth Egan feels isolated and adrift in the new town of Northwood, where her grieving father has moved them for a fresh start. Seeking refuge from her loneliness and the pitying whispers of her new classmates, she discovers a dusty, old-fashioned bookstore where she finds a mysterious blue book named Sapphire and Shadow. Upon reading the book, she’s pulled into a breathtaking fantasy world where she is a princess, and her mother is alive as the beautiful Queen Elara. This perfect wish-fulfillment is shattered when the kingdom is attacked by monstrous creatures called the Dirgesworn, forcing Beth to flee the castle and the only safety she has known in this magical realm.
