About this eBook

The voices haunt Amberly—or rather, they nag her, a constant, invisible stream of criticism keeping her company while she survives a boarding school where none but a few teachers like her. 

A good thing the milky-teal river at the edge of the school also keeps her company. It likes her, it keeps the other, critical voices at bay—and Amberly kind of thinks that maybe sometimes she glimpses the river’s face. 

Hold tight as Amberly finds out just how right—and wrong—she is. Her life? About to change forever, restoring more to her than just the lost memories of her first ten years of life… 

A richly imagined fantasy story about finding your place in the world, regardless of the opinions of others.
