A Wilder Magic

A beautiful and lyrical stand-alone story from the author of the highly-acclaimed The Wolf of Cape Fen, about a family with magic in their bones.

How far would you go to save your home? When Sybaline's enchanted valley in the Appalachian mountains is about to be flooded, she decides to stay. But will Sybaline's magic be powerful enough to stop the flood from destroying everything she loves?

A Wilder Magic is the perfect fantasy book for girls aged 9-12, a middle school chapter book for fans of the supernatural, and a tween book for girls. It also makes a great preteen gift for girls.

For generations, Sybaline Shaw's family has lived in an enchanted valley in the Appalachian Mountains, using their magic to help grow the land. But now the government has built a dam that will force the Shaws to relocate, and they're running out of time before their home will be flooded.

Sybaline and her cousin Nettle can't imagine life without the valley and its magic, so they decide to stay. Using magic, they build an invisible wall around their home. As the water rises, they learn a terrible truth—the water will continue to rise, leaving them to live beneath the lake itself.

There is also a consequence to using magic selfishly, one that might transform both her and Nettle forever. If she can't find a way to escape, Sybaline and the ones she loves could be trapped in the valley forever.
