The Dead-Tossed Waves
Return to Mary's world in the stunning new novel of dread and hope from international bestseller Carrie Ryan.
Gabry lives a quiet life, secure in her town next to the sea and behind the Barrier. She's content to let her friends dream of the Dark City up the coast while she watches from the top of her lighthouse. Home is all she's ever known and all she needs for happiness.
But life after the Return is never safe and there are threats even the Barrier can't hold back.
Gabry's mother thought she left her secrets behind in the Forest of Hands and Teeth, but, like the dead in their world, secrets don't stay buried. And now, Gabry's world is crumbling.
One night beyond the Barrier... One boy Gabry's known forever and one veiled in mystery... One reckless moment and half of Gabry's generation is dead, the other half imprisoned. Now Gabry knows only one thing: if she has any hope of a future, she must face the forest of her mother's past...
Staff Review
I love this book. Carrie Ryan writes so wonderfully, everything is so vivid you can actually see the path through the Forest in your mind’s eye. Thrilling and horrifying (oh my god, the bridge…THE BRIDGE!), this is one that will stay with you, weeks after you finish reading it. Carrie Ryan – Zombie Goddess.
