A Box of Gargoyles

For once, Maya Davidson is not worried. She is getting used to living in Paris, the terrible purple-eyed man is gone, and she's on fall break from school--free to spend time with her friend Valko.

But something strange is happen-ing in the city. Stone gargoyles that can fly and talk, women who sing in the street as if in a trance, a shadowy person-sized column of leaves and dust with hints of purple where its eyes would be . . . all of these come from a dark magic that ripples throughout Paris.

When Maya receives a curious letter on her birthday, she discovers that the purple-eyed man isn't really gone. He's behind the strangeness. And now he has bound Maya to make him whole again . . . by trading her life for his.

In this luminous follow-up to The Cabinet of Earths, author Anne Nesbet weaves a thrilling story of magic and danger that will be enjoyed by Maya's fans as well as by those who are meeting her for the first time.
