Charles de Lint, award-winning author of The Cats of Tanglewood Forest

Chris Baron, author of All of Me and The Magical Imperfect
“R. M. Romero’s lush, lyrical fairy tale takes us through an unforgettable mythical forest where marvels abound and menaces await, and bravery, kindness, and love can conquer all. I was enchanted by this story.”–Anne Ursu, author of Not Quite a Ghost
“Rich, lyrical storytelling in a breathtakingly imaginative world. A joy to read!”–Sophie Anderson, award-winning author of The House with Chicken Legs
“Romero (Death’s Country) mixes fairy tale, Jewish lore, and homage to German poet Rainer Maria Rilke in this family-driven fantasy….spun with both a feminist and Judaic twist.”–Publishers Weekly

As lyrical as a song and decadent as storybook chocolate, this story will sweep you away among its fox-shaped clouds.”–Kalyn Josephson, New York Times bestselling author of the Ravenfall series
