Description
In a kingdom where magic comes with a price, a young girl is raised by a witch who believes she can protect her from the darkness beyond the forest. When a mysterious, impossible event threatens the balance of the world, the girl’s courage is tested in ways that force her to confront the stories people tell about monsters—and about themselves. Blending lyrical wonder with sharp emotional insight, this acclaimed tale explores themes of fear, belonging, sacrifice, and the transformative power of kindness. With its fairy-tale cadence and richly imagined characters, Kelly Barnhill crafts a story that feels both timeless and startlingly intimate.
