Description

A slow-brewing, increasingly exciting, and deeply provocative fantasy world. --Booklist

Against the backdrop of a desolate and mystical town, New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst writes an arresting, fantastical novel of one woman's impossible journey--and her quest to find her fate.

Lost your way?

Your dreams?

Yourself?

Welcome to Lost.

It was supposed to be a small escape. A few hours' driving before turning around and heading home. But once you arrive in Lost...well, it's a place you really can't leave. Not until you're Found. Only the Missing Man can send you home. And he took one look at Lauren Chase and disappeared.

So Lauren is now trapped in the town where all lost things go--luggage, keys, dreams, lives--where nothing is permanent, where the locals go feral and where the only people who don't want to kill her are a handsome wild man called the Finder and a knife-wielding six-year-old girl. The only road out of town is engulfed in an impassable dust storm, and escape is impossible...

Until Lauren decides nothing--and no one--is going to keep her here anymore.
