Foundling

The Desert · The Nomad Caravan · The Village of the Nobodies

The half human creatures in the Village of Nobodies—enchanted snowmen, scarecrows, puppets, and statues—have secret information about Chai’s past. But they’re not willing to give it away for free. Holding Cocoyam hostage, the Halflives send Piper and Chai into the Desert in pursuit of a runaway snowman with a stolen music box. But the Desert is a dangerous place for foundlings. The Tattooed Men are roaming the Desert, hunting for Piper. Ocean-sized sandstorms drift across the dunes. And a deformed monster from Cocoyam’s past is determined to keep Cocoyam trapped in the Village of the Nobodies forever—even if that means burying Piper and Chai alive somewhere under the sand.
