Thirteen years ago, Sadie’s father left her to live with a family of bears in the enchanted forest that surrounded her peculiar hometown.

Yesterday, the bears ate him.

In the wake of her father’s death, Sadie befriends a mysterious Wolf-Woman who is mourning a loss of her own. Together, they work to rebuild a sense of normalcy.

But “normal” looks different for everyone, and their magical town has its own ideas about how they should heal.

There’s a story in the town library that needs an ending.

There’s a golden thread that needs a knot.

And The Festival of The Fireflies is fast approaching.
