“ Billingsley is one of the great prose stylists of<br />
the field. . . . Delicious.”<br />
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)<br />
“ Filled with eccentric characters . . . and<br />
oddly beautiful language, this is a darkly<br />
beguiling fantasy.”<br />
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)<br />
“ The magnificently dark romantic setting<br />
and lovely, lyrical language and<br />
imagery enhance a novel that is both lushly<br />
sensual and shivery.”<br />
—School Library Journal (starred review)<br />

Exquisite to the final word.”<br />

Chime<br />
Franny Billingsley<br />
Briony has a secret. It is a secret that killed her stepmother<br />
and ruined her sister’s mind, and one that might end her life, if<br />
anyone finds out about it. She has powers. And she can see the<br />
Old Ones, the spirits who haunt the marshes surrounding their<br />
town: the Dark Muse, the Reed Spirits, Mucky Face, the Wythes.<br />
She is the only who can, besides the Chime Child, who sentences<br />
witches to death. Then Eldric comes along, with his golden lion<br />
eyes and a great mane of tawny hair. He is as natural as the sun;<br />
he treats Briony as if she is extraordinary—and everything starts<br />
to change.<br />
