YA
Deadly magical mutations mark the landscape, the result of a terrible war with the fairy world. Liza, whose community uses horrifying means to cleanse themselves of magic, flees persecution because of her own emerging fairy traits; in the process, she discovers the true nature of her world. The unique premise is dazzling, but the execution is distractingly melodramatic.
