Julia Defiant
Perfect for fans of Graceling and Six of Crows, this heart-pounding follow-up to Julia Vanishes has it all—witches, magic, adventure, romance, and betrayal.
Julia and a mismatched band of revolutionaries, scholars, and thieves have crossed the world searching for a witch. But for all the miles traveled, they are no closer to finding Ko Dan and undoing the terrible spell that bound an ancient magic to the life of a small child. Casimir wants that magic and will happily kill Theo to extract it—and as they hunt for Ko Dan, Casimir’s assassins are hunting them.
Julia can deal with danger. The thing that truly scares her lies within. Her strange ability to vanish to a place just out of sight has grown: she can now disappear so completely that it’s like stepping into another world. And the monsters who live there seem to recognize Julia and count her as one of their own.
So . . . is Julia a girl with a monster lurking inside her? Or a monster wearing the disguise of a girl? If she can use her power to save Theo, does it matter? In this riveting second book in the Witch’s Child trilogy, Catherine Egan goes deep within the heart of a fierce, defiant girl trying to discover not just who but what she truly is.
