Scintillate (Light Key Trilogy, 1) - Softcover

"A lush and atmospheric debut with a scorching romance and a metaphysical mystery. It had me hooked from the start." --Suzanne Young, "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Program"

"Beautifully written. Keep your eye on author Tracy Clark. She's going places!" --Ellen Hopkins, "New York Times" bestselling author of the Crank trilogy

"Clark's novel is laden with standard tropes: a bookish, unpopular heroine; a family secret; and, of course, a rakish, mysterious boy inexplicably drawn to the heroine. Yet these all provide a foundation for an intense story that expands on aspects of real history and mythology. Cora's personality and deadpan humor pop off the page, as do the novel's evocative, emotionally charged descriptions of people and places...Clark's novel is a powerful, heart-wrenching adventure." --Kirkus Reviews
