A Wounded NameSchnellansicht
Hörbuch, digital
There’s a girl who could throw herself headfirst into life and forge an unbreakable name, an identity that stands on its own without fathers or brothers or lovers who devour and shatter. I’VE NEVER BEEN THAT GIRL Sixteen-year-old Ophelia Castellan will never be just another girl at Elsinore Academy. Seeing ghosts is not a skill prized in future society wives. Even when she takes her pills, the bean sidhe beckon, reminding her of a promise to her dead mother. Now, in the wake of the Headmaster’s sudden death, the whole academy is in turmoil, and Ophelia can no longer ignore the fae. Especially once she starts seeing the Headmaster’s ghosts—two of them—on the school grounds. At the center of her crumbling world is Dane, the Headmaster’s grieving son. He too understands the power of a promise to a parent—even a dead one. To him, Ophelia is the only person not tainted by deceit and hypocrisy, a mirror of his own broken soul. And to Ophelia, Dane quickly becomes everything. Yet even as she gives more of herself to him, Dane slips away. Consumed by suspicion, rage, and madness, he spirals toward his tragic fate—dragging Ophelia, and the rest of Elsinore, with him. YOU KNOW HOW THIS STORY ENDS. Yet even in the face of certain death, Ophelia has a choice to make—and a promise to keep. She is not the girl others want her to be. But in Dot Hutchison’s dark and sensuous debut novel, the name “Ophelia” is as deeply, painfully, tragically real as “Hamlet.” NOTE - This is an audiobook. It will be shipped to you as an unabridged recording on CD.
