(2) 4-6 In Duodecia, every child has a darkbeast, a creature who takes the child's faults on themselves. Keara refuses to kill hers, raven Caw, on her twelfth name day, as custom demands; they run away and join the migratory thespian Travelers. Carefully chosen images and rich language set the tone for Keyes's unique society. A surprise revelation opens the door to sequels.
