false<![CDATA[The Forest of Hands and Teeth]]>343247810In Mary's world there are simple truths. The Sisterhood always knows best. The Guardians will protect and serve. The Unconsecrated will never relent. And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village; the fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth.
But, slowly, Mary's truths are failing her. She's learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power, and about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. When the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, she must choose between her village and her future - between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded in so much death?3473471book1032009The Forest of Hands and Teethtotal:2429|5:570|4:797|3:640|2:326|1:96|242987065105987137falsefalseThu Feb 26 00:00:00 -0800 2009Mon Feb 23 11:40:55 -0800 2009Fri Aug 07 15:32:44 -0700 2009
