Description: Perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers and The Marvellers, Alby C. Williams' debut middle grade fantasy is a thrilling adventure filled with monsters, mysteries, and mischief.

Brief description: Alby C. Williams hails from the land of snow and salt potatoes. They are a storyteller, poet, and artist of dubious skill but endless enthusiasm. If you catch them in their spare time, you might mistake them for a cat based on the amount of yarn in their immediate vicinity, but don't be fooled -- they're actually several pigeons in a trench coat.
