Book description
There is a dire warning never to peep out at them. There are stories
of people who succumbed to their voices and walked out into the night,
never to be seen again. But Rilka, frustrated by the culture of her
people, is determined to catch a Beguiler and solve the mystery of
their existence and so she embarks on an adventure that will change
her life, and the lives of those around her, for ever.
This novel confirms Kate Thompson's position as a writer of rare
imagination and power.
