Description

From the bestselling author of The Bone Houses and The Drowned Woods comes a captivating new fantasy adventure about three unlikely companions who must join forces in a perilous, magical contest—perfect for fans of Holly Black and Erin A. Craig.

Every five years, two kingdoms host the Wild Hunt—a fierce competition filled with danger, magic, and deadly risks at every turn. Though even the most skilled hunters can perish, hundreds still enter, driven by the ultimate reward: a powerful magical wish to be granted by the enigmatic Otherking.

Branwen is unique among humans, wielding the rare power to see and defeat monsters that roam the land. With her mother growing increasingly ill, competing in the Wild Hunt is Branwen’s one hope of securing a cure.

Gwydion comes from a long line of powerful magic-users, yet he struggles to match their accomplishments. Gifted with plant manipulation and clever tricks, he sets out on the Hunt determined to stop his ruthless elder brother from claiming power and becoming a feared tyrant.

Pryderi, born royal but raised by monsters, isn’t particularly concerned with crowns or kingdoms. Instead, he searches desperately for truth and belonging, hoping this competition can provide him the answers he seeks.

Now the paths of these three allies—a trickster magician, a wild huntress, and a prince raised by creatures—collide as they chase the Champion’s prize. Together, they stand a chance at success, but nothing is certain in a game where love intertwines with danger and betrayal lurks in every shadow.

Set in the richly imaginative world featured in The Bone Houses and The Drowned Woods, and introducing a brand new memorable cast, The Wild Huntress promises an enthralling ride from the very first page.
