Description: Tom is in trouble. An outcast from his ruthless elfin Tribe, he flees to the city of hated demons. His only chance for safety there is to pass from sight, to go invisible, by calling on the stars. But the fierce beauty of the stars is growing dim: for Tom is not wholly Tribe, but part demon, too. And he is helpless to stop his demon side from emerging. Then Tom is discovered by two young demons, Anna and Joe. As much as he despises them and the twining emotional bonds they use to enslave each other, Tom realizes he cannot escape the Tribe's deadly silver spears without their help. But what will the demons ask of him in return? With breathtaking originality and piercing lyricism, first-time author Sally Prue crafts a bracing tale of fantasy and adventure which delves with poignant insight into the "demon" bonds of love that make us human. Winner of Britian's prestigious Smarties Prize. Winner of the Branford Boase Award for Outstanding First Novel for Young People.
