Seeking revenge, the Sídhe kidnap Ireland’s youth via the Call: the dreaded, unexpected moment when an adolescent simply disappears from Earth to land in a dreamlike, horrific underworld full of monsters-and the carnivorous Sídhe. The Sídhe are magical beings who were, in a distant past, banished from Ireland to live in a hellish netherworld. Vanessa Doherty is a 14-year-old white lass who attends Boyle Survival College, one of many in Ireland that serve only to teach its youth how to survive the Call of the Sídhe.
