Reviews

"A stunning debut." --Deborah Harkness, "New York Times" bestselling author of "A Discover of Witches"

"Its classic story of good versus evil as well as its haunting characters ad rich, inspired imagery will remain with readers long after they turn the final page." --Library Journal

"Ripe with literary language and classical references, Treadwell's novel shape-shifts between bewitchingly perplexing and supernaturally entertaining." --Kirkus

"Treadwell makes marvels from the simplest materials--a blooming rose, a rowan walking stick, a traditional carol--and brings his landscape to frightening and fascinating life. Readers of Susan Cooper and Alan Garner will rejoice to find the first of a new trilogy worthy of sharing their shelf." --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
