Some legends never die…

Traveling with her treasure-hunting father has always been a dream for Theodora.

If Cady can’t clear her family name soon, she’ll be forced to sacrifice her own life . . . and no amount of running will save her this time.

Möödunud aasta sügisballist saati on endised parimad sõbrad ja nüüdsed suurimad vaenlased Zorie ja Lennon peensusteni lihvinud teineteise vältimise kunsti. Ka nende perekonnad on omavahel vaenujalal nagu tänapäevased Montagued ja Capulettid. Kui aga sõpruskonna ühine matk ootamatu pöörde võtab, leiavad Lennon ja Zorie end keset metsikut loodust. Ihuüksi. Ja koos. Mis võiks siin küll valesti minna? Teel turvalise tavaelu rüppe lahendavad nad omavahelisi erimeelsusi teravate torgete ja solvangute kaudu. Võitlus teineteise ja metsikute loodusjõududega tähendab aga, et metsast ühes tükis väljatulek ei pruugi enam võimalik olla. Mida sügavamale Põhja-Carolina kõnnumaale nad jõuavad, seda enam kerkivad pinnale varjatud tunded ja saladused. Kas Zorie ja Lennoni suhe peab igapäevaelu survele vastu? Või olid tunnetepuhangus süüdi vaid värske metsaõhk ja lummava tähistaeva maagia? Jenn Bennetti teostest on eesti keeles varem ilmunud „Südame õige kuju”, mis sai 2020. aastal tiitli „Hea noorteraamat”.
