If sixteen-year-old Liddi speaks one word, the device implanted on her vocal cords will instantly kill her eight brothers, trapped in the conduits between worlds. Can she solve an interplanetary puzzle to save them? Though the technological dilemmas are sometimes baffling, this intricate sci-fi retelling of Andersen's "The Wild Swans" pleases through a low-key but satisfying romance and Lewis's attention to Liddi's development.
