Dear, Holly.

In a secluded desert valley ruled by a mysterious cult, sixteen-year-old Holly has been raised to believe one thing: the gods must be pleased. Under the watch of the elders and the silent symbol of the goat, devotion is everything-and sacrifices keep the world at peace.

When a lost boy from the outside world stumbles into their sacred land, Holly knows what she must do. Outsiders are the perfect offering. She hides him from the others, pretending to help him survive while secretly planning to deliver him to the altar.

But as days pass, the boy begins to trust her. He tells her stories of a world she's never seen, and something dangerous begins to grow between them-something the cult never prepared her for.

Now Holly must decide what matters more: the gods she's spent her life trying to please... or the boy who might finally show her the truth.

Dear Holly.
