Description
Can you still love with a heart of stone?
Sebastian Grey always thought he was a fairly normal teenager - good friends, decent grades and a pretty sweet job in his foster brother's tattoo shop.
But when Romany gypsies arrive in town, Sebastian discovers that his world is not what it seems. There is an age-old feud between his family and the gypsies - and this isn't the only secret his brother has been keeping from him. His life is not his own. The girl he's been dreaming about has just turned up at school, and he feels compelled to protect her at all costs.
Even if that means life might never be normal again.

'Different, unique and mysterious ... A great start to the series ... It remains to be seen what will happen next but I'd read it without a doubt' Book Passion for Life'An excellent start to the series, and I look forward to finding out where the story goes from here. I give this book a definite A!' Emeraldfire's Bookmark
'An intriguing contemporary YA fantasy. Featuring "mysterious" gypsy groups and their folklore and traditions, I found this aspect of the book gave it a refreshingly uniqueness I don't see too much in other books in this genre ... Consider me hooked on The Romany Outcasts Series by Christi J. Whitney. Is book two available soon?' Reader Girls
