Emily Barr Knihy

Sedmnáctiletá Flora nemá žádnou krátkodobou paměť, její mysl několikrát denně vymaže všechny vzpomínky, které nashromáždila, a vrací se do věku deseti let, kdy jí byl z mozku vyoperován nádor. Když však políbí Drakea, který den nato opouští město, vzpomínka jí zůstane. Flora je přesvědčena, že právě on by dokázal jí vrátit vzpomínky a scelit její mysl. A když jí Drake navrhne, aby za ním přijela do malého městečka na druhé straně světa, Flora souhlasí. Je si totiž jistá, že právě v tom okamžiku jí začíná nový život. A tak vyráží na cestu do malé vesnice na severu Norska jen s nápisem Buď statečná napsaným na kůži a s papírem, na který si poznamenala, kdo je a kam putuje. Ale od momentu, kdy dorazí k polárnímu kruhu, nic není takové, jak se zdá být. A ona musí být víc než jen statečná, aby poznala sama sebe a dostala se do bezpečí.
