Tess sets out a sea-faring adventure to stop a war in the latest fantasy novel from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hartman.
Tess has a mission from the Queen: sail across the oceans to the bottom of the world and prevent a war. Unbeknownst to the Queen, Tess also intends to find the last World Serpent—a once-mythical creature with the magical ability to heal her best friend Pathka from a life-threatening injury. Tess never was one to follow the rules and this self-assigned mission feels like her duty, her calling, her destiny.
Destiny has other ideas.
When someone from Tess’s past makes a surprise return, old wounds are cracked open, throwing her mission—both the Queen’s and Tess’s personal agenda—into complete disarray. What’s more, Tess’s personal pain is intertwined with a history greater than her own and the mending of it threatens the delicate balance of the entire Southlands. Tess was sent on this journey to prevent a war, but she may be starting one of her own.
Story Locale: The Medieval World of Rachel Hartman’s Southlands
Series Overview: Tess of the Road and In the Serpent’s Wake make up a duology that takes place in the same world as Seraphina and Shadow Scale.

AWARD-WINNING, CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF SERAPHINA: Rachel Hartman, winner of the William C. Morris YA Debut Award and shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award, is known for garnering numerous starred reviews.
EXQUISITE WRITING: Rachel’s prose is beautifully crafted and irresistably powerful.
A RICH FANTASY WORLD FANS WILL RECOGNIZE: Tess is Seraphina’s younger half-sister. Her adventure takes place in the same world as Seraphina and Shadow Scale.
A RARE BOOK: Inspired by the dearth of female road stories, Rachel wanted to write something that would fill that gap.
SIMULTANEOUS PUB WITH TESS OF THE ROAD IN PAPERBACK! Tess of the Road won the Sunburst Award for Young Adult Fiction and garnered 4 stars; it will release in paperback for the first time, timed with the publication of this new book.
A BEAUTIFUL STORY THAT DEALS IWTH HARD AND TIMELY ISSUES: Transgender themes, the negative long-term affects of racism and colonialism, and the importance of allyship are balanced with adventure and light humor.
