Adaptation

A feature that can open a returning series: a girl without a shadow is conscripted to walk a border made of light. World-led, exact rather than chosen-one. Visual effects in weather and rim-country, not armies.

Synopsis

In Glass Country the sun is a civic duty. Those born without a shadow are taken at sixteen to walk the rim — a pale high country where the light is so complete it has a weather of its own. Wren''s heroine, Ivo, is not brave. She is exact. And the border, she learns, is not a line. It is a bargain. Glass Country is YA speculative with the chill of ice and the ethics of a fable you are not supposed to finish too quickly.
