Publisher's summary

Anne of Green Gables meets Diana Wynne Jones in this whimsical fantasy adventure perfect for teen readers.

I don’t know who you are, or why you need me, but you hurt her again and I will make you pay…

Alice has lived in the forest on the fringes of Alder Vale ever since her parents abandoned her. Alone, exiled, and feared by all. All except Lily.

Nature has always been Lily’s tonic, and she never feels more alive than when she’s amidst the trees. It was Alice who first called them the sisters of shadow, Lily the sunshine to her moonlight, for neither can exist without the other.

But something is stirring beyond the mountains. Whispers of spectres stalking the moors, women of unfathomable power luring children into a cult that has haunted local lore for a generation.

When Alice disappears, Lily knows she must rescue her or risk losing her forever.

Because the rumours were true all along…

Exile.

Monster.

Witch.

Not good.

Despite having two protagonists with a supposed deep bond, they hardly interact, and when they do, they feel more like acquaintances. Ironically, they each get new “friends” they just meet, and develop much better and believable friendships with them.

The magic system did not factor at all basically, I’m baffled as to why it was even included.

Also, if you read this before the book, there are so many scenes and parts where it is clarified that Lily is barefoot, and occasionally other characters, I stopped imaging her wearing shoes, and I think that is what the author wanted all along. It felt out of place, and over stayed its welcome after the fourth time I heard bare feet brought up. Would not recommend.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
