a true fairy
tale for readers
of all ages
from a small village
in the trees through the
arbor fair and
across the bay
to the
otherworld of
the fairies
On the night of
her twelfth
birthday Lyric
Doherty hears
a song for the
first of three
times, a song
that calls her
into the woods
just outside her
family’s home.
It lures her to
a place where
small trinkets
are left for her
without
explanation.
Lyric comes to
believe that the
song and the
objects have
something to do
with her mother,
a mother whom
she barely
remembers. Her
grandmother
Maeve told her
that her mother
left her, her
father and
brother years
before without
saying a word.
Her mother’s
absence leaves
Lyric with only
vague memories
and a longing to
understand what
drove her away.
