2018 New Apple Book Awards: YOUNG ADULT FANTASY

SOLO MEDALIST WINNER

The Outcasts (The Blood Dagger: Volume 1)

by Misty Hayes

Mystical relics. Powerful vampires. Strange allies.
It's hell being a teenager.
Larna Collins has never understood why her dad skipped out on her and her mother when she was twelve years old. Until then, he was a devoted and loving father. But six years later, during a renovation of her childhood home, she unearths her father's journal from under a dusty floorboard. According to his final entry before he left, he had recently visited a small parish in England. The entries draw her to this seemingly quaint village, which Larna discovers isn't as charming as its blood-craving inhabitants want her to believe, and she learns that she isn't the only one trying to track her father down. Could this explain her father's disappearance? Or was placing her in the center of danger her dad's master plan all along?
