When you sleep, the forest will allow you safe passage. But if awakened, be prepared to run! Engaging and devious, The Wood of Lost Things will seduce you with magic and mystery until you're too lost in its pages to put it down.
Since the dawn of fairy tales, we've been taught to fear what lurks in the dark woods, and the forests surrounding the small town of Fir Haven are even more sinister. Some say those trees are magical. Others, they're haunted. When you sleep, the forest will allow you safe passage. But if awakened, be prepared to run.
Nora Walker comes from a long line of natural witches who share a special connection to the Wicker Woods, and it is this connection that leads her to Oliver Huntsman, the boy who disappeared during the worst blizzard in years. He was supposedly dead, but was found alive in the woods, with no memory of what happened while he was missing.
But Nora can sense Oliver's presence awakening the forest, and it doesn't take long before she realizes that to keep the trees asleep, she'll need to discover how the boy she's become so deeply attached to survived in the woods, and what brought him there in the first place. What Nora doesn't know, however, is that Oliver has secrets of his own—secrets he'll do anything to keep hidden, because it seems he wasn't the only one who disappeared that fateful night two weeks ago...
The author of The Curse of the Sea returns with a haunting romance where dark fairy tales and enchanted woods collide after a missing boy is found in the magical forest and falls in love with the witch determined to uncover its secrets.
