The Raven, the Wolf, and the Rose

By Elise Chidley

Book One in the Deepwood Trilogy

When seventeen-year-old parkour champion, Willow McBane, is uprooted from London to a crumbling cottage in Gloucestershire, she expects nothing but loneliness and boredom. But in the whispering forest behind her new home, she meets Raff Dunaid, a secretive boy with the bearing of a prince.

Raff is heir to Emberlyn, a hidden realm powered by elemental currents that also sustain life on Earth. Currents that are now failing. In Emberlyn, they call it the Withering.

When a plan is set to clear the trees of Deepwood--the last place where magic still seeps between realms--Willow reluctantly joins Raff to save the link that keeps both worlds alive. But Raff is concealing a dangerous prophecy, and his wicked brother Faylan is closing in to make sure it comes true.
