Unconquered Country

"When Third was a little girl, she lived in a peacful village in the harmonious Unconquered Country. Then the Neighbors invaded, and the Sharks swooped from the skies leaving vast burned swaths of destruction. Soon, with Third's family dead and her beloved village destroyed, she left to try to make her way alone through a new, incomprehensible society. Here is a harrowing, uncompromising fantasy, not about fairywoods, but about a mythical yet all-too-familiar land close to the shores of our hearts and memories."--Page [4] of cover.
