NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR * BOSTON GLOBE * The Chicago Public Library * KIRKUS REVIEWS Four starred reviews! "The world building is gorgeous, the creatures are vivid and Hartman is a masterful storyteller. Returning to the spellbinding world of the Southlands she created in the award-winning, New York Times bestselling novel Seraphina, Rachel Hartman explores self-reliance and redemption in this wholly original fantasy. Tess just knows that the open road is a map to somewhere else-a life where she might belong. What that something is, she doesn't know. She's not running away, she's running towards something. She cuts her hair, pulls on her boots, and sets out on a journey. But on the day she is to join the nuns, Tess chooses a different path for herself. So Tess's family decide the only path for her is a nunnery. Unfortunately, the past cannot be ignored. What she's done is so disgraceful, she can't even allow herself to think of it.
She speaks out of turn, has wild ideas, and can't seem to keep out of trouble. It's the most compassionate book I've read since George Eliot's Middlemarch." - NPR In the medieval kingdom of Goredd, women are expected to be ladies, men are their protectors, and dragons can be whomever they choose. "Tess of the Road is astonishing and perfect. Award-winning Rachel Hartman's newest YA is a tour de force and an exquisite fantasy for the #metoo movement.
