Sarah Prineas captivates in this thrilling magical adventure about a fearless young girl who might have the power to change everything.

With her boundless curiosity and wild spirit, Fer has always felt that she doesn't belong. She hears the call of the wild wood, of the secrets it whispers. But when her grandmother reveals clues about the disappearance of her father, Owen, and his mystical bond to her mother, Fer begins to unlock secrets about the parents she never knew. Led to a reflecting pool which uncovers 'The Way', Fer finds an enchanting and dangerous land.

In this place bound by magic, where incredible beings are part animal, part human, Fer feels the call of the blood bond. But with her mother gone, everything has spun out of order and evil has imprisoned the place in ice. Now, Fer must face down the powerful Mor who has cruelly overtaken this world and its people, and answer the call of her legacy.

Chases, hunts, horses that fly - Prineas delivers an enthralling journey brimming with action and spirit.
