From celebrated children''s author Cerrie Burnell comes a new, wonderfully inclusive, magical tale set in 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. . .

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.
