Valiant

When seventeen-year-old Val escapes her painful past and reinvents herself in New York City, she discovers an unexpected found family living in the gritty underbelly of the subway system. Her new friends are magnetic and mysterious, drawing her deeper into their world—one that turns out to be far more otherworldly than she could have imagined. As Val gets caught between a creature that might actually be kind and friends whose true nature grows increasingly unsettling, she'll have to figure out who—and what—she can really trust. This is a darkly atmospheric tale about belonging, identity, and finding light in the shadows.
