Description

After landing in foster care, Rhi is determined to start over—until a job at the Happy Valley Wildlife Preserve leads her into the woods and to a startling discovery: a pack of wolves guarding four feral, majestic girls who insist they are princesses from another land. As Rhi earns their trust, she’s pulled into a mystery that blurs the line between myth and manipulation, forcing her to question what’s real, what’s been taught, and what’s been stolen. Brought into civilization, the girls become a media sensation and a subject of obsession, while Rhi finds herself torn between skepticism and the fierce, uncontained freedom they embody. With an unflinching YA voice and a surreal, suspenseful edge, this debut explores themes of girlhood, captivity and agency, belief versus truth, and the cost of learning to “tame” yourself—until Rhi must decide who she wants to be, and what she’s willing to protect.
