Wren is sixteen, a baker's apprentice, and marked since birth with a crescent on her collarbone that her mother once called her little moon. She has never believed it meant anything. Then the air behind the bakery splits open, something antlered speaks her name, and the village she has lived in her whole life begins - very quietly - to come undone. The woman who raised her sends her west past Crow Bridge, to a mill and a grey-haired man who has been waiting sixty-one years for someone exactly like her. The seam between this world and the Ethereal was never sealed. It was only ever badly shut - and something on the far side has been cutting at it from within, patient and unhurried, for four hundred years. It has a name. Wren has until the full dark to learn all of it. Book One of the Ethereal Chronicles. Illustrated throughout with thirty original graphite plates.
