Rowan Sterling should be worrying about normal teenage things like attending college and whether her best friend Lucas is maybe more than a friend. . . . Instead, shes having terrifying visions of blood and violence. As the premonitions increase in number and intensity, Rowan seeks her fathers help, but instead finds herself drugged, kidnapped, and sent to a mysterious facility called Rosewood. It isnt long before Rowan discovers Rosewood isnt a boarding school or an asylum: its a training center for teens with special abilities who are known as Harrows. Harrows can view the actions of would-be murderers before they commit crimes, and the scientists at Rosewood believe it is their duty to use the Harrows powers to make the world a safer place. When they are apprehended by a Harrow, imminent criminals, known as imcrims, are captured and indefinitely detained in a state of sedation. At Rosewood, the Harrows are taught how to identify, track, and apprehend imcrims. Rowan is immediately drawn to Rosewoods mission; after all, she lost her mother to a random act of violence two years prior. However, some of the other Harrows question the treatment of imcrims—how can it be ethical to imprison people who havent actually done anything yet? Empowered by the skills shes acquired and ready to change the world, Rowan returns home, but when she reunites with Lucas, she has a vision of him shooting a man in cold blood. Now Rowan is questioning everything she learned at Rosewood—she refuses to believe Lucas is capable of murder—and sets out to protect him from the Harrows.

Review An original, genre-blending graphic novel for patient readers. * Kirkus *Kiesling makes excellent use of smooth, engaging, and natural-feeling dialogue to provide...world-building, and the heavy, shadowy illustrations do much of the rest. * Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books *Rowans struggles with her identity as she searches for her voice and purpose will resonate with teens, especially those who like psychological horror. * Booklist *Slashes of color, mostly in hematic red, punctuate grayscale spreads and signal the blood-soaked climax of this visceral graphic novel, a jumping-off point for a critique of the prison industrial complex. * Publishers Weekly * Promotional In this YA graphic novel, a psychic teen hunts potential killers until she discovers the boy she loves is her next target Details ISBN141976084X Author Rye Hickman Pages 240 Year 2024 Illustrator Rye Hickman ISBN-13 9781419760846 Format Hardcover Audience Age 14-18 Publisher Abrams Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Imprint Amulet Books Illustrations Full-color illustrations throughout Audience Teenage / Young adult ISBN-10 141976084X AU Release Date 2024-04-17 Subtitle A Graphic Novel UK Release Date 2024-06-06 Publication Date 2024-06-06 US Release Date 2024-06-06 DEWEY 741.5973 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
