“This is one of those rare first novels that hits the trifecta: well-written, wildly entertaining, and sneakily enlightening.”

A librarian, a stray cat, two kids, and a forest full of secrets. Fate called her home. Magic made her stay. As developers close in, Iris must uncover the truth and decide whether to fulfill her destiny.
