The Last Wildspeaker

By Ivy Rowyn

Mara Fern has always heard animals talk.

Mostly, they complain.

The hens argue about bread theft. The squirrels demand legal representation. The village goat believes he should be mayor. But in Brindlewood, hearing wild things is considered unlucky, so Mara has spent sixteen years pretending she hears nothing at all.

Then the animals fall silent.

When Sable, a sharp-tongued forest fox, appears with impossible news, Mara learns that Elderhorn, the ancient stag guardian of Brindlewood Forest, has vanished. Without him, the forest's magic begins to rot. Paths move. Flowers bloom black. Rivers forget where to flow. And something old and hungry starts waking beneath the roots.

To save her village, Mara must follow a dramatic fox, a vain raven, a sleepy owl, and a very judgmental goat into the heart of the forest. But the deeper she goes, the more she discovers that the forest was never the only thing silenced.

Warm, whimsical, and gently mysterious, The Last Wildspeaker is a cozy YA fantasy novella about courage, belonging, and the wild things that speak when someone finally listens.
