The Savage Dawn by Melissa Grey | PenguinRandomHouse.com
The series that began with the book Danielle Paige, author of Dorothy Must Die, called “inventive, gorgeous, and epic” comes to its thrilling conclusion. “Catnip for fans of Cassandra Clare.” —BookPage.com on The Girl at Midnight The sides have been chosen and the battle lines drawn.

The much-anticipated sequel to the book Danielle Page, author of Dorothy Must Die, says is “inventive, gorgeous, and epic–Grey dazzles.” Everything in Echo’s life changed in a blinding flash when she learned the startling truth: she is the firebird, the creature of light that is said to bring peace.
