Finding Violet

In a world where magic is outlawed and those of supernatural ancestry are ruthlessly persecuted, mutations of past evils flourish in secret. For Violet, a young woman of magical descent, secrets are part of life. Tucked away in a small village, she slogs through her mundane days, hoping that no one will discover the truth: she is one of the last of her race. But soon, Violet learns that her people could still be alive--forced into exile on the high mountains and faraway islands of her world. Unaware of the consequences or magnitude of what awaits, she embarks on a quest for answers--and an authentic life. As Violet travels, she finds that the road ahead is veiled with bloodshed and omens: tales of monsters long since dead, of magical children gone without a trace, and recurring dreams of a strange boy that she has never seen before. Numerous obstacles litter her path to truth--like thorns beneath her feet.With all she set out to do going up in smoke, Violet must confront both internal and external forces--the paralyzing expectations of others, the haunting truths about her own identity, and the most daunting of all: the evil creatures imprisoning her kin.
