THE MARKED GIRL
Book ID/图书代码： 09320014B70949
English Summary/英文概要： The Marked Girl, Lindsey Klingele’s debut novel, centers on a group of teenagers who trade in their swords and castles for bus cards and minimum wage jobs—cast out of their medieval, Game of Thrones-esque world, they pass through a portal to modern-day Los Angeles.
In his homeland of Caelum, Cedric West was a prince and a warrior. But in L.A., he is a lowly ticket-taker at the Natural History Museum. He and his three royal friends fled their realm during a brutal uprising of demonic creatures, the wraths. Now they are trapped in L.A., hiding out in the museum’s forgotten tunnels and desperately seeking a way home.
Liv Phillips, a street-smart foster girl, stumbles across Cedric’s hideout and is immediately drawn into an unfamiliar world of portals, demons, and danger. She teaches her new friends how to survive in the City of Angels (Tip #1: No swords on the city bus), while helping them stay a step ahead of the wraths, who have infiltrated the city, and the LAPD, who threaten to split them apart.
When Liv discovers that her own mysterious past might hold the key to opening a portal back to Caelum, she is forced to determine how far she’ll go to help Cedric and his friends get home. She and Cedric have formed a powerful bond, but Liv must decide just how much that bond means to her. Does it warrant risking her life, forsaking one world for another, or even changing the world as she knows it forever?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《使命少女》是林赛•柯林吉拉的处女作小说，该书围绕一群被驱逐的青少年展开故事，这群原本生活在类似“权利的游戏”中世纪背景下的青少年穿过一个时光隧道来到了现代洛杉矶，他们的利剑和城堡则被换成了公交卡和最低工资标准的工作。
在家乡西勒姆，塞德里克•韦斯特的是一名王子也是一名战士。然而在洛杉矶，他只是自然历史博物馆里一名级别最低的检票员。他的王国遭遇了非常激烈的魔族生物‘怒火’的叛乱起义，塞德里克和他的三名皇室朋友只能选择逃离。如今，他们被困在洛杉矶，躲藏在博物馆被人遗忘的暗道中，绝望地寻求着回家的方法。
丽芙•菲利普斯是一名在街上长大的女孩，她在无意间闯入了塞德里克的藏身之处，并立刻被那个充满魔族、危险和神秘甬道的陌生世界深深吸引。丽芙教会她的新朋友们如何在天使之城生存下去。（建议一：不要带着利剑上公交车），与此同时，‘怒火’已经渗透进了这个城市和洛杉矶警局，意欲将他们生擒活剥，丽芙则帮助他们逃避‘怒火’们的追捕。当丽芙发现自己的神秘过去或许正是打开回到西勒姆的时光隧道的关键时，她不得不作出决定，为了帮助塞德里克和他的朋友们回到故土，她又愿意做出怎样的牺牲。虽然丽芙和塞德里克之间早已形成了一股强有力的纽带，在作出最终决定前，她仍旧需要扪心自问这一纽带究竟对她而言意味着什么。是否意味着她愿意用自己的生命冒险，愿意为了另一个世界而放弃现有的世界，又或者甚至是改变一直以来她所熟悉的世界？（DC）
