Morrigan
Crow
is
cursed.
Having
been
born
on
Eventide,
the
unluckiest
day
for
any
child
to
be
born,
she's
blamed
for
all
local
misfortunes,
from
hailstorms
to
heart
attacks--and,
worst
of
all,
the
curse
means
that
Morrigan
is
doomed
to
die
at
midnight
on
her
eleventh
birthday.
But
as
Morrigan
awaits
her
fate,
a
strange
and
remarkable
man
named
Jupiter
North
appears.
Chased
by
black-smoke
hounds
and
shadowy
hunters
on
horseback,
he
whisks
her
away
into
the
safety
of
a
secret,
magical
city
called
Nevermoor.
It's
then
that
Morrigan
discovers
Jupiter
has
chosen
her
to
contend
for
a
place
in
the
city's
most
prestigious
organization:
the
Wundrous
Society.
In
order
to
join,
she
must
compete
in
four
difficult
and
dangerous
trials
against
hundreds
of
other
children,
each
boasting
an
extraordinary
talent
that
sets
them
apart--an
extraordinary
talent
that
Morrigan
insists
she
does
not
have.
To
stay
in
the
safety
of
Nevermoor
for
good,
Morrigan
will
need
to
find
a
way
to
pass
the
tests--or
she'll
have
to
leave
the
city
to
confront
her
deadly
fate.
Perfect
for
fans
of
the
Harry
Potter
series
and
Neil
Gaiman,
this
fast-paced
plot
and
imaginative
world
has
a
fresh
new
take
on
magic
that
will
appeal
to
a
new
generation
of
readers.
