\nSeven years on the run from her abusive father\, and with no hope of sanctuary among t he dwindling pockets of human civilization\, Lark is out of options. Her o nly leverage is a cursed power: she can thrust fear onto others\, leaving all threats fleeing in terror. It's a means of survival as she searches fo r a place to call home. If the campfire myths of her childhood are true\, Lark's sole chance for refuge could lie in Cagmar\, the city of trolls - b rutal species and the sworn enemies of humanity. Valuing combat prowess\, the troll high council is intrigued. Lark could be much more useful than t he low-caste humans who merely labor in Cagmar. Her gift makes her invalua ble as a monster slayer to fight off the unspeakable creatures that tormen t the trolls' hanging city\, suspended from a bridge over an endless dark canyon. Lark will do anything to make Cagmar her home\, but her new role c omes with a caveat: use her power against a troll\, and she'll be killed. Her loyalty is quickly put to the test when she draws the hatred of a powe rful troll who loathes humankind. Still\, she finds unexpected friendship in the city and\, even more surprisingly\, love. But if everything else do esn't undo her\, being caught in the arms of a troll surely will. Now in t he fight of her life\, Lark has a lot to learn...about her past\, about tr ust and hope when all seems lost\, and above all\, about the extraordinary power of fear itself.
