Description
Twelve-year-old Kallie despises nonsense. She believes theres a rational explanation for everything, despite the good-natured prodding of her Grandpa Jess, who takes her to frivolous wastes of time like their towns local Festival of Fools.
There, Kallie meets a faceless man (must be some kind of mask) who gives her an odd wooden puzzle box (must be some kind of gimmick). Intrigued, Kallie sets to work on unlocking its secrets and lets something out. From here Kallies life begins to entangle with another world, a world where Liah, a young bone carver, journeys with her master to sell wares to a wicked Queen.
The sights, sounds, and spells of Liahs world are beginning to leak into Kallies, and if Kallie cant decipher the meaning of her own story, the end might be far from happy.
