Raised in a town surrounded by a labyrinthian, man-eating swamp, Lili craves nothing more than to track down the monster lurking in its depths and kill it. The monster's curse claims the flesh and bone of every adult in town, stealing them away, piece by piece. For generations, people have tried to kill it or escape the town altogether, but every path out of town leads them right back in. Caleb, a bookish boy with dreams of freedom, is hungry to escape. He thinks that with Lili's help and knowledge of the swamp, he can make a map to freedom. And Lili hopes that with a better sense of its territory, she might finally find and kill the monster. Together, they chart the swamp's shifting terrain. Sharing in the danger and the beautyof the landscape sparks a friendship between them--and then something more. However, what they discover disrupts everything Lili thought she knew about the town, her father, the monster--even herself. The truth at the root of the curse could devour them all. And Lili must decide if risking her life to be the town's savior is worth sacrificing her own chance of escape.
