When Wendy was only six, her mother—who believed her daughter was a monster—tried to kill her. Eleven not-so-happy years passed, and unexpectedly Wendy begins to suspect that her mother might have been right. And she’s not quite human. But who, then?
To find the truth about herself, Wendy will have to end up in a frightening yet wonderful world of the trilles’ people—safely hidden from human eyes. There, Wendy is “one of them,” and she is destined for a great fate. But she is not at all sure she wants to be part of that world, where cruelty, cold calculation, and power are what she dreams of.
“Foundling” is the first novel in the trilogy about trilles, which brought fame to the very young writer Amanda Hocking and became a real book sensation. Amanda herself uploaded a digital version of her book to the largest internet bookstore in the world—and very quickly sales of her fantasy crossed a million copies. After that, a real battle broke out among the biggest publishing houses over the right to publish her novels. Amanda Hocking is called the direct heir of J. K. Rowling—she also created her own special magical world that exists alongside ours, but in which everything is arranged quite differently.
