Follow the river Liss to the small town of Thistleford on the edge of Faerie and meet two
sisters who cannot be separated even in death. The hardcover edition features beautiful
interior illustrations. "Oh what is stronger than a death? Two sisters singing with one
breath." In the small town of Thistleford on the edge of Faerie dwells the mysterious
Hawthorn family. There they tend and harvest the enchanted willows and honour an ancient
compact to sing to them in thanks for their magic. None more devotedly than the family's latest
daughters Esther and Ysabel who cherish each other as much as they cherish the ancient trees.
But when Esther rejects a forceful suitor in favor of a lover from the land of Faerie not only
the sisters' bond but also their lives will be at risk... The River Has Roots is the hugely
anticipated solo debut of the New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award winning author Amal
El-Mohtar.
