What happens when the end of the world isn’t the end at all?
That’s where Mara lands: sarcastic, stubborn, and unprepared for a magical forest that thinks she belongs to it. Luckily, she isn’t alone. She has Celestine, a hulking shadow hound with a protective streak a mile wide, and Aria, her luminous wolf whose gentle heart is the reason Mara keeps moving when everything feels impossible.
