Fiona Crane's family has just moved to Lost Lake, a tiny, unwelcoming town full of old houses, old forests, and old secrets. Fiona is miserable, and it's all because her older sister needed to be closer to her figure skating club. The only bright spot is Lost Lake's library, a rambling mansion that was once home to a wealth local family. That's where Fiona finds the book with the soft leather cover and the drawings of a forest with reaching hands and string eyes. The book about another pair of sisters who lived long ago, in a town eerily like Lost Lake. The book that doesn't exist- at least, not if you ask anyone about it. The book is leading Fiona toward something. Something that has been waiting to be found. Maybe it's been waiting for her. -- Provided by publisher

High school senior Anders Thorson is unusually gifted. His band, Last Things, is legendary in their northern Minnesota hometown. With guitar skills that would amaze even if he weren't only eighteen, Anders is the focus of head-turning admiration. And Thea Malcom, a newcomer to the insular town, is one of his admirers. Thea seems to turn up everywhere Anders goes: gigs at the local coffeehouse, guitar lessons, even in the woods near Anders's home. When strange things start happening to Anders, blame immediately falls on Thea. But is she trying to hurt him? Or save him? Can he trust a girl who doesn't seem to know the difference between dreams and reality? And how much are they both willing to sacrifice to get what they want?

Ta książka to szokująca podróż do nazistowskiego jądra ciemności, zatrważający obraz życia jednej z najmroczniejszych postaci Trzeciej Rzeszy – Reinharda Heydricha.
