When Wendy was only six, her mother—who considered her daughter a monster—tried to kill her. Eleven not-so-happy years passed, and unexpectedly, Wendy starts to suspect that her mother might have been right. And she isn’t fully human. But then who is she? To find the truth about herself, Wendy will have to end up in the frightening and wonderful world of the trills—a people safely hidden from human eyes. There she will be one of her own, and she is destined for a great future—but she has no certainty that she wants to be part of this world, where cruelty, cold calculation, and power are what she dreams of…
“Foundling” is the first novel in the trilogy about the trills, which brought fame to a very young writer, Amanda Hocking, and became a real book sensation. Amanda herself posted a digital version of her book in the largest online bookstore on the planet, and very quickly sales of her fantasy exceeded a million copies. After that, a real battle broke out between the biggest publishing houses for the right to publish her novels. Amanda Hocking is called a direct successor to J. K. Rowling; she also created her own special magical world that exists alongside ours, but everything there is arranged quite differently.
