Enderchild

A girl from a small town with no family, no real home, not even a last name. Seventeen-year-old Arith thinks she's about as ordinary as you can get. The only things she has to worry about are having enough money to pay her rent, and not getting fired from her job that's quickly sliding sideways. But with a gypsy's warning and the appearance of a mysterious stranger, Arith's life is suddenly anything but ordinary. Everything she thought she knew about herself is turned upside down, when she is forced to flee her hometown in the dead of night and embark on a dangerous journey through the unknown, all while being hunted by creatures that want her dead. An evil is rising that threatens to destroy her world, and Arith is a bigger part of it than she could ever have imagined. Gripping and expertly paced, with a cast of lovable characters, Enderchild is a book that will have readers turning pages in anticipation until the very end.

O fata dintr-un orasel fara familie, fara casa adevarata si nici macar un nume de familie. Arith, in varsta de saptesprezece ani, se crede cat se poate de obisnuita.
