Six years ago, sisters Evie and Philippa were swept away to a
strange and beautiful kingdom called the Woodlands, where they lived
for years. Now, returned to the real world, they must come to
terms with their more ordinary lives.
For Evie, it's unbearable - she dreams of the whispering trees
and a daisy-chain crown.
For Philippa, it's a relief, especially now she's met Jack. But
all it takes are four words to shatter her new-found peace: Your
sister is missing.
As the weeks unfold, Philippa must discover if Evie crossed safely
between worlds or if the light was too bright – and she
fell.
This incredible debut explores the aftermath of a fantasy
adventure – and how two sisters must readjust to an ordinary
world, when they are anything but.
A mesmerising fantasy story of heartache, sisterhood
and longing, written in a stunning dual narrative.
