An innocent summer holiday turns out to be anything but for Athene and her younger brother, Zach, when they find themselves caught up in a skirmish between two groups of gnome-like creatures: The Humble Gloam live above ground and get along with humans; the Low Gloam live below and despise everyone. When Zach stumbles into Low Gloam territory, Athene disguises herself to rescue him and discovers a secret that could bring the two Gloam tribes together-if it doesn't tear them apart, first. Humorous plot twists, magical potions, talking animals, and creatures aplenty will keep readers hurriedly turning the pages of Anna Dale's newest fantasy.
