Milla Edge is fueled by an obsession to fill the void in other people’s lives. She finds lost children—all the while trying to outrun the brutal emotions stemming from a tragedy in her past.

Traveling to a small village in Mexico on a reliable tip, Milla begins to uncover the dire fate of countless children who have disappeared in the labyrinth of a sinister baby-smuggling ring. The key to nailing down the organization may rest with an elusive one-eyed man.

As Milla’s search for him intensifies, the mission becomes more treacherous. For the ring is part of something far larger and more dangerous, reaching the highest echelons of power.

Racing into peril, Milla suddenly finds herself the hunted—in the crosshairs of an invisible, lethal assassin who aims to silence her permanently.

Some Ether is one of the most remarkable debut collections of poetry to appear in America in recent memory. In this collection, Nick Flynn presents poems of ringing clarity and strange precision that conjure a will to survive and a buoyant motion toward love, which is sometimes all that saves us.

These poems resonate in the imagination long after the final poem, offering a startling and moving debut that speaks to the heart and soul. Some Ether is not just a testimony; it is an exploration of survival and emotion, crafted with care and deep insight.
