Synopsis

From the bestselling author of Weetzie Bat comes a fantasy adventure.

Siblings Calliope and Rafe, along with Dionisio and Paul, are Ecstasia--the most popular band in Elysia, a city of jewels and feathers, of magic and music, where the only crime is growing old. Then Calliope's visions take her to Under, where the Old Ones go to die, and where her parents had vanished long ago. Rafe joins her there, in search of the Doctor, who can bring back the dead to ease their loved ones' broken hearts. And that is when rapture turns to nightmare.
