防詐3要訣：不聽信、不操作、掛斷電話 
內容簡介
蘿絲能有今天的成就都靠她自己，母親個性古怪，從小就忽視她，並在紐約市區裡居無定所，蘿絲明白，她必須掙脫困境。
現在，她有乾淨的公寓，一個不錯的工作，還和一個公司董事長訂婚了，他們的共同點是相信人類潛能與認真工作，以及都被犧牲的童年時光。
但蘿絲的妹妹賽西莉亞完全不同，像個永遠長不大的小女孩，不負責任，恣意妄為，上一秒要搭飛機去歐洲修道院，下一秒要加入拯救老鷹動保運動，每天都在追求童話故事場景與尋找真愛─那些蘿絲知道在現實世界完全說不通的東西。
當賽西莉亞宣布她要在紐約定居，且閃電式結婚，蘿絲以為她終於要面對婚姻的現實，學著獨立時，卻發現賽西莉亞開始參與一個奇怪的邪教組織─Avalon，他們在夜晚聚會，透過船隻用水路聯繫，然後又立即消失，越來越多人因此失蹤，蘿絲為了找回妹妹，萬不得已只好假裝加入這個組織，暗中調查。
但她同時也不自覺地被影響，甚至開始懷疑，自己至今追求的一切名利與社會地位是否值得...
Rose has come a long way. Raised—and often neglected—by a wayward mother in New York City’s chaotic bohemia, Rose has finally built the life she’s always wanted: a good job at a self-help startup, a clean apartment, an engagement to a stable if self-satisfied tech CEO who shares her faith in human potential, hard work, and the sacrifice of childish dreams.
Rose’s sister Cecilia, on the other hand, never grew up. Irresponsible and impetuous, prone to jetting off to a European monastery one month and a falcon rescue the next, Cecilia has spent her life in pursuit of fairy-tale narratives of transcendence and true love—grand ideas Rose knows never work out in the real world. When Cecilia declares she’s come home to New York for good, following the ending of a whirlwind marriage, Rose hopes Cecilia might finally be ready to face adulthood: compromises and all.
But then Cecilia gets involved with the Avalon: a cultish-sounding cabaret troupe—one that appears only at night, on a mysterious red boat that travels New York’s waterways—and soon vanishes: one of a growing number of suspicious disappearances among the city’s lost and loneliest souls. The only way Rose can find Cecilia is by tracking down the Avalon herself.
But as Rose gets closer to solving the mystery of what happened to her sister, the Avalon works its magic on her, too. And the deeper she goes into the Avalon’s underworld, she more she begins to question everything she knows about her own life, and whether she’s willing to leave the real world behind.

各界推薦
“Tara Isabella Burton's HERE IN AVALON is a salty, whimsical-in-the-best-way, windy, enchanting, operatic story. It made me feel like the luckiest reader in the world. There is so much to love in here, most of all, the refreshing cast of unforgettable characters, misfits and searchers who don't always know what they want, let alone how to get it. A truly exciting, stand-out, star of a book."—CAROLINE KEPNES, author of New York Times bestseller YOU
“Adeptly warping traditional fairy tropes, Burton weaves a lush ode to searching for the magic in life…. Raises poignant questions about happiness, need, and personal growth, and leading readers to a startling and satisfying conclusion. This is a treat.”—Publishers Weekly
