Her brothers grow up feasting on stories of valor and adventure, and Devon—like all other book eater women—is raised on a carefully curated diet of fairytales and cautionary stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut real life doesn't always come with happy endings, as Devon learns when her son is born with a rare and darker kind of hunger—not for books, but for human minds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE BOOK EATERS is a contemporary fantasy debut.
