Silverthorne is a place of secrets. A forest of twisting paths and tangled thorns. A castle
with locked towers and whispers of tragedy. A village trapped between terrors known and
unknown. But something is stirring in the leaves . . . Saffy is a good girl tired of being
told to stick to the forest paths and always follow the rules. Aurelia is a hidden girl
locked in a castle tower dreaming of escaping the fate she's told awaits her. Wild Rose is a
fierce girl raised by wolves full of spells and fearlessness and cunning. Together they will
change life in Silverthorne forever. Wildly exciting and wickedly whimsical . . . a story as
warming and delicious as stolen porridge. Hana Tooke author of The Unadoptables One of the
most delightful stories I've read in years. Burnell's writing sparkles like starlight guiding
you through a wild fairy tale brimming with friendship magic and hope. Maria Kuzniar author
