Raven's Nest - by Sara Hjardar (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

When Mia and her family move into the abandoned house her missing grandmother left behind, Mia slips away into the woods instead of settling in. There, she sees something impossible: a towering, deer-like creature with no face. Everyone already thinks Mia is strange, so she keeps it a secret, hidden in the pages of her sketchbook.

But when her sister, Hanna, goes missing with several other children, Mia is forced to return to the woods and the dark pond where they were last seen. On the other side waits a realm of cursed magic, haunted forests, and monstrous creatures ruled by a merciless queen.

Will Mia be able to rescue her sister or is she doomed to disappear too?
