YA
Liza (Bones of Faerie), like all children born after the war with Faerie, has magical abilities; as a Summoner, she must use her powers to prevent the Faerie Queen from exterminating all surviving humans. Simner's lyrical prose occasionally verges on melodramatic. Her magical dystopian setting, while not quite fully realized, is nevertheless fascinating.
