Summary
A girl hated by her town for her father’s crimes must decide whether to save it or burn it all down when a dying god in the woods warns her of an impending catastrophe in this “enthralling, unsettling, no-holds-barred YA folk horror” (The Guardian) from “a lush, magical writer—who isn’t afraid of the dark” (Rainbow Rowell).
When a bone-white crow lands in Sylvie Singer’s backyard, she knows trouble is coming. And after an FBI raid reveals her father’s double life, Sylvie’s entire world comes crashing around her. With nowhere to go but the abandoned railway station in the cursed West Woods, Sylvie spends her time avoiding the carnivorous white deer that live there, counting down the days until she can graduate from high school and finally leave the town that’s openly out for her blood. Then Sylvie encounters a different sort of monster.
Illican is a horned god bound to the West Woods, even more wretched than she is. Sylvie is drawn to Illican, excited that he can introduce her to magic that could save her town—save her. But Illican is dying, and the last thing Pine Ridge Hollow wants is help from Sylvie Singer...
The town is a tinderbox, and Sylvie is the spark that will either save it or burn it all down.
