Banshee at the Gate - Paperback

by Wendy Knight (Author)

Thirteen-year-old half-breed banshee, Seven, likes her life. She leads souls safely to Death and she has the planet's most awesome dad and little brother. But a cryptic message from Atlantis asking for her help changes all that. And then there's Death, who has decided it's time to take her brother's soul. Now she's racing across the world, trying to stay one step ahead of Death. Unfortunately, getting to Atlantis from Ireland isn't easy, and there are evil minions determined to keep her away every time she turns around. But fighting for their lives teaches Seven one very important lesson-she isn't human, and she isn't a banshee. She has to be both if she wants to save her brother and make it back home alive.

Author Biography

Wendy Knight is the bestselling author of the young adult series Fate on Fire and Riders of Paradesos. She was born and raised in Utah by a wonderful family who spoiled her rotten because she was the baby. Now she spends her time driving her husband crazy with her many eccentricities (no water after five, terror when faced with a live phone call, no touching the knives...you get the idea). She also enjoys chasing her three adorable kids, playing tennis, watching football, reading, and hiking. Camping is also big-her family is slowly working toward a goal of seeing all the National Parks in the U.S. You can usually find her with at least one Pepsi nearby, wearing ridiculously high heels for whatever the occasion. And if everything works out just right, she will also be writing.
