About This Book

Guinevere Sharpe and her brother Ennis grew up in two worlds: an isolated, neglected reality in rural Vermont and the fictional realm of their mother's world-famous fantasy series. Years after a tragic fire leaves their mother's series unfinished and the siblings as the sole survivors, Guinevere must confront her past. As her brother prepares an art installation centered on their mother's legacy, dark secrets about their upbringing and the true nature of their mother's stories begin to emerge.
