"The gripping pace and complex moral musings pair with a setting that is so vividly described that it becomes a character itself. Readers will eagerly anticipate the next volume in this anticipated trilogy." - "BCCB" "The extraordinary comes out from hiding behind the ordinary in Hatfield's debut novel . This fanciful book brings new awareness of the natural world." - "VOYA" *"Confident storytelling lays a solid foundation for Book 1 of this original middle-grade fantasy trilogy . A powerfully conceived and executed story that adds a wholly original element to the fantasy genre." - "Kirkus Reviews," STARRED REVIEW *"Hatfield doesn't shy from depicting violent deaths or the occasional bit of gore, but the story is never gratuitous--the frights are just enough to keep readers' hearts racing as they read late into the night." - "Publishers Weekly".
