“ 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 />

“ A dark, chilling yet stunning world.<br />

Exquisite to the final word.”<br />

—Booklist (starred review)<br />

The praise rings out for Chime—a magical,<br />

romantic novel now in paperback<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 />
