A penny for your soul…Alyse recognizes a devil's deal when she sees it: the seven pieces of her humanity in exchange for her sanity, in exchange for the lives of those she loves.She won't win.But she can't care so long as it keeps her friends safe.She can't care until it begins, and the shades of Venice begin tearing away at her soul.Then she must fight. For to submit to her fate would leave the terrible, powerful secret of what she is in the hands of the mad dreamer, Hadria, who lurks in the heart of the city.To submit would leave hundreds of innocent Sleepers' Syndrome children forever entwined in a nightmare Alyse might just have the power to end.One, two, but not yet…three.Never let this piece go. Never.Or you are lost forever.The Huntress will have your soul.Tonya Macalino deftly weaves together adventure, mystery, and sinister secrets amidst the most startling backdrop that is utterly mesmerizing… A deliciously dark fairy tale.--Lucinda Fountain Reviews
