Their most critical weapon, seventeen-year-old witch Nathan Brynn, has killed fifty-two people, and yet he's no closer to ending the tyrannical, abusive rule of the Council of Witches in England. Nor is Nathan any closer to his personal goal: getting revenge on Annalise, the girl he once loved, before she committed an unthinkable crime. There is an amulet, protected by the extremely powerful witch Ledger, which could be the tool Nathan needs to save himself and the Alliance. But the amulet is not so easily acquired. And lately Nathan has started to suffer from visions: a vision of a golden moment when he dies, and of an endless line of Hunters, impossible to overcome. Gabriel, his closest companion, encourages Nathan to run away with him, to start a peaceful life together. But even Gabriel's love may not be enough to save Nathan from this war, or from the person he has become.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Set in modern-day Europe, the final book in the Half Bad trilogy is more than a story about witches. It’s a heart-poundingly visceral look at survival and exploitation, the nature of good and evil, and the risks we take for love.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eNow streaming on Netflix as \u003ci\u003eThe Bastard Son \u0026amp; The Devil Himself\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cb\u003ePraise and accolades for \u003ci\u003eHalf Lost\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* \"One of the finest recent examples of YA fantasy.\"—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003cb\u003estarred review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* \"A poignant finale to a trilogy. . . .

She has had various jobs and even a profession, but in 2010 she discovered a love of writing and now just can't stop. She used to keep chickens, makes decent jam, doesn't mind ironing, loves to walk in Wales even when it's raining, and will probably never jog again. She really ought to drink less coffee. Sally is the author of the Half Bad trilogy and the Smoke Thieves trilogy.In the year that my father turned twenty-eight he killed thirty-two people. Celia used to make me learn facts about Marcus. That’s one of them. It was the most he killed in anyone year before the war between Soul’s Council and the Alliance of Free Witches. I used to think that thirty-two was a lot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the year Marcus turned seventeen, the year of his Giving, he killed just four people. I’m still only seventeen. Before the Battle of Bialowieza—the day my father died, the day almost half of the Alliance died, the day now referred to as “BB” by anyone who dares refer to it at all—anyway, before that day I’d killed twenty-three people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBB was months ago and now I’ve passed fifty kills. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI’ve killed fifty-two people to be precise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt’s important to be precise about these things. I don’t include Pilot—she was dying anyway—and Sameen isn’t in the count. What I did for her was a mercy. The Hunters killed Sameen. Shot her in the back as we fled from the battle. And Marcus? I definitely don’t include him in the fifty-two. I didn’t kill him. \u003ci\u003eShe \u003c\/i\u003ekilled him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnnalise.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer name makes me want to spew.

She said I was her hero, her prince and, like the dumb, thick mug that I am, I wanted to believe her. I did believe her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd now all I want is to kill her. To cut her open and rip screams out of her. But even that isn’t enough; that won’t come close to it. I’d have to make her know how hard it is to do what I did. I’d have to make her cut off her own hand and eat it, or cut out her own eyes and eat them, and still that’d be easier than what I did.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI’ve killed fifty-two people. But really all I want is to get my hands on her. I’d be happy with fifty-three. Just one more and I’ll be satisfied.","brand":"Viking Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46302716657893,"sku":"NP9780147511942","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780147511942.jpg?v=1767728628","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/half-lost-isbn-9780147511942","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
