Description
The seventh book in the funny and fast-paced InCryptid urban fantasy series returns to the mishaps of the Price family, eccentric cryptozoologists who safeguard the world of magical creatures living in secret among humans.
Includes an all-new Aeslin mice novella and a map of Lowryland!
Penance, noun:
1. Punishment for past actions.
2. An attempt to pay for what can't be bought.
3. See also "exile."
Antimony Price is on the run. With the Covenant on her tail and her family still in danger, she needs to get far, far away from anyone who might recognize her—including her own mice. For the first time in a long time, a Price is flying without a safety net. Where do you go when you need to disappear into a crowd without worrying about attracting attention? An amusement park, of course.
Some people would call Lowryland the amusement park. It's one of the largest in Florida, the keystone of the Lowry entertainment empire...but for Annie, it's a place to hide. She's just trying to keep her head down long enough to come up with a plan that will get her home without getting anyone killed. No small order when she's rooming with gorgons and sylphs, trying to placate frustrated ghosts, and rushing to get to work on time.
Then the accidents begin. The discovery of a dead man brings Annie to the attention of the secret cabal of magic users running Lowryland from behind the scenes. They want the fire that sleeps in her fingers. They want her on their side. They want to help her—although their help, like everything else, comes with a price.
No plan. Minimal backup. No way out. Annie's about to get a crash course in the reality behind the pretty facade. If she's lucky, she'll survive the experience.

In the highly entertaining seventh installment of the InCryptid urban fantasy series, cryptozoologist Antimony Price is on the run from the ruthless monster-slaying group known as the Covenant of St. George, unable to contact her family or friends lest she endanger them. Eight months after the events of 2017’s Magic for Nothing, Antimony has gone to ground as an employee of Lowryland, a fairy tale–themed Florida theme park. However, two things disrupt her quiet routine: she’s offered a chance to gain control over her unpredictable pyrokinetic abilities and a series of tragedies rocks the park. Antimony must break cover and gather a motley assortment of inhuman allies—including her boyfriend, Sam—to discover and destroy the rot at Lowryland’s heart, no matter what it costs her. McGuire’s clear passion for theme parks and roller derby results in a joyous romp that juggles action, magic, and romance to great effect. Though it doesn’t push the larger Covenant story line forward, it represents significant change and growth for Antimony’s corner of the world. This volume also contains a novella featuring Sam and the fan-favorite Aeslin mice, covering their time between Antimony’s adventures, so there’s plenty to keep fans invested in this open-ended series.

Antimony Price?going by her oldest alias, Melody West?has landed in Lowryland, a Florida amusement park that exists in competition with Disney and is crowded enough that the Covenant won't be able to track her by her blood. She has a spectacular streak of luck. Her old cheer captain is a hiring manager, and she lands one of her old roller derby teammates as a roommate. She even has a connection to her family in the form of visits from her ghost aunt, Mary. Then there are a couple of accidents too bad to be entirely coincidental, and Antimony gets pulled into the cabal of magic users who run Lowryland. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. There's a lot going on behind the scenes, and Antimony, in fine family tradition, is going to do the right thing. Whatever it takes. Antimony Price is an excellent narrator of the seventh InCryptid novel (after Magic for Nothing, 2017), and McGuire packs a lot of substance into every one of the Price family's adventures without sacrificing any of their roller-coaster entertainment.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
