From the rear cover

"A breathtaking story in which myths come to frightening life and buried wishes might actually come true." --Nova Ren Suma, author of The Walls Around Us and Imaginary Girls

"How would you describe your condition?" I asked. Isabel didn't respond. Instead, her eyes landed on a wasp, possibly the same one that had been buzzing around my ear earlier.

Isabel turned her chin slightly in its direction. She blew out as if extinguishing a candle flame.

For a split-second the wasp hovered in the air. Then it dropped dead to the ground.

"Samantha Mabry's magical debut is both a chilling mystery and a heartbreaking meditation on love, longing, and sacrifice . . . A Fierce and Subtle Poison will get into your blood." --Laura Ruby, Printz Award-winning author of Bone Gap
