(2) YA The soul eaters kill Alys's parents and every adult in Gwenith. In her new village, suspicion falls on Alys--she had been awake during the attack. When Alys meets the Beast, the evil creature in the village elders' holy book, it confirms her connection to the soul eaters. Rock-solid setting and a Salem witch trial–like culture ground readers in this psychologically intense fantasy.
