A new, wonderfully magical and inclusive tale set within the whimsical world of Wilder than Midnight Long ago, on a winter's eve, two sisters walked into a wolf-wild wood but only one returned. . . The Faraway Wood is full of twisting thorns and sharp teeth. Stirring with myth and music. It's the perfect place for bandits, thieves and secrets to hide. Until a prince goes missing. Lilac is a strong girl, happy with her found family, yet searching for her sister. Clover is a determined girl, eager to find what's been lost to her, though scared to leave her village. Hester is a smart girl, one step ahead of trouble, and ready for adventure. Together, they will unite the realm.
