Two kings rule the ancient woodsβ€”the Oak King in summer, the Holly King in winterβ€”and no mortal may cross into their realm without leave. But when eighteen-year-old Rowan GwΓ³zdek’s sister vanishes, Rowan defies the old laws and enters the forbidden forest, desperate to find her. She isn’t alone for long. Keziah, a trans (and very handsome) hunter with a shadowy tie to the Oak King, offers his helpβ€”and a perilous path to the Bear Maiden, a creature said to grant wishes. Together, Rowan and Keziah face mossmen, a wood dragon, and other servants of the forest kings.

But danger lurks deeper still. Caught between the warring Oak and Holly Kings, Rowan is forced to take sides in a battle far older and fiercer than she ever imagined. Saving her sister could cost her everythingβ€”including her way home.
