Returning to the Scarborough family mythology that she created in Impossible, Nancy Werlin in Unthinkable follows Fenella, the first Scarborough girl to be cursed by the Elfin Knight centuries ago, who has been living a miserable life of eternal purgatory in the faerie realm ever since. Now she will at last be allowed to die if she can accomplish three tasks of destruction against the Scarborough family. If she doesn't succeed, she will again be a slave to the Elfin Knight, and the family curse will begin all over again. But what happens when Fenella discovers how deeply she loves her family?

Praise for Unthinkable

* "Werlin pulls off quite a feat, making us care deeply for a character driven by selfish needs, intent on betrayal. The book, whose plot is irresistible, also raises large questions about the nature of security. . . . At its heart, this is a story about the many different levels of love."--Booklist starred review

 

"Werlin, a deft storyteller and creative world-builder, weaves a twisting strand of faerie magic through the human realm, smoldering with sparks of romance and danger, just waiting to ignite."--Horn Book
