A Face Like Glass-------pan macmillan
In Caverna, lies are an art - and everyone's an artist . . .
In
the underground city of Caverna the world's most skilled craftsmen toil
in the darkness to create delicacies beyond compare - wines that can
remove memories, cheeses that can make you hallucinate and perfumes that
convince you to trust the wearer, even as they slit your throat. The
people of Caverna are more ordinary, but for one thing: their faces are
as blank as untouched snow. Expressions must be learned, and only the
famous Facesmiths can teach a person to show (or fake) joy, despair or
fear - at a price.
Into this dark and distrustful world comes
Neverfell, a little girl with no memory of her past and a face so
terrifying to those around her that she must wear a mask at all times.
For Neverfell's emotions are as obvious on her face as those of the most
skilled Facesmiths, though entirely genuine. And that makes her very
dangerous indeed . . .
