The Blurb:
Newford: where magic lights dark streets; where myths walk clothed in modern shapes; where a broad cast of extrodinary and effecting people work to keep the whole world turning.
At the center of all the entwined lives in Newford stands a young artist named Jilly Coppercorn, with her tangled hair,her paint splattered jeans,a smile perpetually on her lips-Jilly,whose paintings capture the hidden beings that dwell in the city's shadows. Now at last Jilly's own story...for behind the painters fey charms lies a dark secret and a past she's laboured to forget. And that past is coming to claim her now.
" I'm the Onion Girl" Jilly Coppercorn says "Pull back the layers of my life, and you won't find anything at the core. Just a broken child. A hollow girl" She's very,very good at running. But life has just forced Jilly to stop...
