(4) YA In 1914, half-English, half-Indian fifteen-year-old Adi's life is upended when she accidentally foils the assassination plans of a shape-shifting, devil-like madman named Coal. Coal exacts his revenge by kidnapping Adi's brothers, presenting her with riddles to find them, and literally stealing her voice. Historical fiction melds with magical realism in this elegantly written but somewhat overstuffed novel.
