Trust

When you're being chased down a magical staircase by mythological monsters, your survival depends on knowing whom you can trust. But the only person Anna ever trusted was her mother, who lied about everything.
Called "The YA Series to follow" by The New York Times and "Must-Read YA" by USAToday. Author Jodi Baker brilliantly weaves together mysticism, forbidden romance, action, diverse characters, secrets, lies, ancient truths & fantastical Libraries in her Between Lions Series. Everything begins in Book 1:
"TRUST."
That's what the voice inside my head kept repeating when I woke up between the infamous lion statues of the New York Public Library, with no idea how I got there and no memory of the last year of my life.

The only person I ever trusted was my mother, who lied about everything.

I want to trust myself, despite my missing memories. But hearing a voice inside my head obviously wasn't a good thing, especially since it knew things I didn't... like how to speak Ancient Sumerian, the fact that yellow-eyed people aren't actually people, and that my mother's Egyptian ankh necklace was the key to unlocking the truth she hid from me:

I'm the last in a long lineage of powerful women whose secrets date back to the ancient Library of Alexandria.

Now I'm fighting like hell to stay alive while searching for my missing mother and the truth, desperate to find something or someone I can trust.
