What this book is about
In a village on the edge of an enchanted wood, Rois is drawn to the mysterious stranger Corbet Lynn who has come to reclaim his family's ruined estate. Something in the forest wants him too — something old and cold and beautiful. McKillip's lyrical fantasy is a fairy tale retelling that prioritizes atmosphere over plot.
