Description

"A quirky and entertaining tale liberally seasoned with humor." -Bruce Boston, Bram Stoker Award author of Dark Matters

When 18-year-old Rose arrives in Temnota from the US as an exchange student, she finds the country even more oppressive than she thought. The Secret Service has just imprisoned Libera, a young rebel leader. A shape-shifter, she can escape by taking any form, so they've locked her away in a cell impenetrable to her kind, and are about to execute her.

Rose teams up with her classmate, Gavrilo, the prince of all shape-shifters, to find a way to unlock Libera's cell to save her. According to a legend, such a way existed a long time ago. Rose takes Gavrilo back to the past to find it. A Secret Service Major, an evil genius of shifters, stands in their way.

Rose and Gavrilo fall for each other, but she has a disease that prevents them from touching. Will they beat the death clock and save the country and their love?

Praise for Mark Budman and My Life at First Try

"This is a splendid debut by an important new American voice." -Robert Olen Butler, a Pulitzer Prize winner, the author of Intercourse and Severance

"Budman's description of his attempt to become an even more exotic specimen - himself - in the USSR and later in the United States, may be more memoir than fiction, but the novel's exuberance demolishes such boundaries." -The Boston Globe
