The beloved and magical Books of Bayern series from New York Times bestselling author Shannon Hale returns with brand new covers.Rin has always been a quiet, helpful daughter and sister, but a secret is eating at her. Recently, the solace she once found among the trees surrounding her forest home has vanished. Determined to find a new sense of self, Rin accompanies her brother Razo into the city, where she discovers that a mysterious threat haunts Bayern. She joins with three magical girls--Isi, Enna, and Dasha--as they venture toward the kingdom of Kel . . . where someone wants them dead.

The fourth book in master storyteller Shannon Hale's beloved Books of Bayern series is equal parts fantastical and thrilling, with unforgettable characters to root for at its center.
