Red Valley, California has a few traffic lights, a Walmart, and a river that turned mean. And magic, not that it does anybody much good. And it has secrets; ingrown, fading towns like Red Valley always have secrets. And rules, of course. You learn the rules young, or you don’t get to be old.
DON’T CROSS THE KING.
NEVER, EVER GO IN THE RIVER.
AND DON’T TRUST THE LIAR.
Sadie knows the rules, knows she ought to follow them. But she’s the Liar now, which means she knows the secrets, too. And keeping those secrets safe - keeping herself safe - is going to mean breaking some rules.
