While her people search for Fana and race to unravel the unknown sect’s mysterious origins, Fana must learn to confront the deadly forces—or she and everyone she loves will die.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003ePublished ‏ : ‎ July 7, 2009\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎ 432 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49747788792124,"sku":"9780743287364","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2005\/files\/71Em5b8V-lL._SL1360.jpg?v=1719926645"},{"product_id":"my-soul-to-keep-book-1-of-4-african-immortals-series-by-tananarive-due","title":"My Soul to Keep (Book 1 of 4: African Immortals Series) by Tananarive Due","description":"\u003cdiv data-expanded=\"true\" class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/libro.fm\/audiobooks\/9781980094418-my-soul-to-keep?bookstore=frugalbookstore\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2005\/files\/button-buy-on-audiobook_2-01.svg?v=1724852867\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\"An eerie epic.
