Romance, intrigue, and plenty of action are woven into a rich and suspenseful narrative in this powerful YA fantasy. The mixed-race heroine Myra is a Flickerkin and can flicker (become invisible) at will. She hasn´t cultivated or revealed this ability, since Flickerkin are persecuted as potential criminals and spies. When invisible people become tricksters and then murderers, Myra´s Flickerkin heritage becomes a deadly secret, putting her relationship with the leader´s son-and her own life-in jeopardy. Loyalties shift and difficult choices are made before Myra understands who she wants to be.
"Thompson´s imaginative descriptions of Flickering...and the sea-centered rituals of the island people combine to create a unique fantasy world with a rich history." -Booklist "This tale of mixed heritage and divided loyalties with an engaging heroine will appeal to fans of character-driven fantasy. " -Kirkus "Filled with vivid, fascinating magic and set in an intriguing world, Flicker and Mist is an exciting, thought-provoking, haunting novel that lingers long after you finish the last page." -Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Queen of Blood
