In this "stunning and atmospheric"* contemporary fantasy and 2022 Locus Award Top Ten Finalist, when her siblings start to go missing, a girl must confront the dark thing that lives in the forestâand the growing darkness in herself. (*Buzzfeed)
Derry and her eight siblings live in an isolated house by the lake, separated from the rest of the world by an eerie and menacing forest. The man who raised them after their families abandoned them, says itâs for their own good. After all, the world isnât safe for people with magic. And Derry feels safeâmost of the time.
Until the night her eldest sister disappears. Jane and Derry swore to each other that theyâd never go into the forest, not after their last trip ended in blood, but Derry is sure she saw Jane walk into the trees. When another sibling goes missing and their guardianâs true colors start to show, feeling safe is no longer an option. Derry will risk anything to protect the family she has left. Even if that means returning to the forest that has started calling to Derry in her missing siblingsâ voices.
As Derry spends more time amidst the trees, her magic grows more powerful . . . and so does the darkness inside her, the viciousness she wants to pretend doesnât exist. But saving her siblings from the forest might mean embracing the darkness. And that just might be the most dangerous thing of all.
