Description
In the remote village of Near, old warnings about the wind and the legendary Near Witch have long been dismissed as bedtime stories—until a mysterious boy appears on the moor and children begin vanishing from their beds. Determined to uncover the truth, fiercely independent Lexi defies the village’s fears and follows a trail of whispers, secrets, and forgotten history. Blending the atmosphere of a dark fairy tale with the emotional pull of a love story, this haunting debut explores courage, superstition, belonging, and the danger of allowing fear to define what is possible.
