AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY AND INDIE BESTSELLER!

A spine-tingling standalone novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune—a supernatural road-trip thriller featuring an extraordinary young girl and her two unlikely protectors on the run from cultists and the government.

There's nothing more human than a broken heart.
In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his only brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington, DC.
With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon, to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not.
Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears.
Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

      Starred review from October 1, 2024

      It is spring 1995, and Nate Cartwright is a broken man. His parents are dead, his brother estranged, and his job as a Washington, DC, journalist has been taken away from him. Hoping to collect himself and see what comes next, Nate heads to the mountains of Oregon, where his family summer cabin lies in the small town of Roseland. Except, upon his arrival, Nate finds a man named Alex there, along with a 10-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Caught between his wounded past and an unexpected future, Nate joins Alex and Artemis in their frantic race for freedom. Artemis's name is actually the least unusual thing about her, and those hunting for Artemis want her back--no matter what. VERDICT Even as the character arcs pack emotional punches and the plot builds with intensity, the story is balanced with the humor and wry character introspection Klune (In the Lives of Puppets) is known for. Previously self-published, this reissued stand-alone only solidifies Klune's reputation for skillful prose and worldbuilding.--Kristi Chadwick
