Maude is the daughter of witches. She spent her childhood running wild with her best friend, Odette, weaving stories of
girls who slayed dragons and saved princes. But Maude grew up and lost her magic.
Then two weeks ago Odette went missing, and everyone believes she is dead. Everyone except Maude.
Maude is sure she can find Odette inside the ruins of an abandoned power plant built over an ancient magical forest – a
place nobody else seems to remember is there.
Soon she discovers that wild magic is both deeply enchanting and terrifying. Can she find her friend – and stop the
horrors of corrupted magic from overtaking everyone and everything she loves?
