Elowen Greye (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798271085369)

Elowen Greye already learned the meaning of silence.

Her mother, once a gentle painter of lullabies, now screams at specters no one else can see. Her father vanished into the night never to be seen again. And so Elowen is sent away, to the manor of her cold and watchful Aunt Evangeline, where emotions are impolite, dreams are disapproved of, and every door seems to listen.

But the world is not as still as it pretends to be.

Whispers curl beneath floorboards. Candlelight speaks in patterns. And beyond the frost-bitten garden walls lies Vaelthyr - a world of impossible color, living folklore, half-remembered lullabies... and a boy with mismatched eyes who seems to have been waiting for her all along.

As reality and enchantment begin to bleed into one another, Elowen will have to choose: remain the obedient child she is expected to be... or step into a world that might break her, save her - or reveal the truth of everything she has lost.

A story of grief, wonder, and the thin line between madness and magic.

For readers of The Secret Garden, Coraline, and Alice in Wonderland - Elowen Greye is a haunting journey into the world we all secretly believed might be waiting for us, if only we dared to look.
