The Second Star's Shadow

By K. Kottke

Wendy once dreamed of flying. She once believed in the boy who never grew up, in a world where shadows danced and children never had to say goodbye. But Wendy did grow up, and she left Neverland behind. She built a life, a family, a future.
Until the day her daughter disappeared.
Drawn back to the island she swore she would never see again, Wendy finds that Neverland has changed, and so has she. The wild, glittering paradise of her youth is darker now, its magic sharp-edged, its games far more dangerous. The Lost are not only boys anymore, and even the brightest star can cast a long shadow.
To bring her daughter home, Wendy must confront the secrets she buried with her childhood, and walk paths where memory and nightmare blur. She will face the boy she once loved, the monsters she once feared, and the truth that growing up never saved her from Neverland's grasp.
A haunting reimagining of a timeless tale, The Second Star's Shadow is a story of motherhood and memory, of love sharpened by loss, and of what it truly means to fight for those we cannot bear to lose.

"The fairytale you thought you knew grows darker when mothers become the ones who must fight."
"A tale of motherhood, memory, and magic that feels both timeless and brand new."
"Haunting, lyrical, and impossible to put down."
"The kind of book that leaves you staring at the last page long after you've finished."
