Enter a world of enchanted books and monstrous secrets in Sangu Mandanna's magical fantasy series. Vanya and the Wild Hunt is filled with stunning illustrations by Kristina Kister. Perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, A. F. Steadman and Pari Thomson.

Eleven-year-old Vanya Vallen can talk to books. But more importantly, the books talk back.

When her family is attacked by a monster she believed only existed in legends, Vanya discovers that her parents have been keeping secrets, and that monsters do exist. Soon, she is whisked off to the enchanted school of Auramere, where she joins the ranks of archwitches and archivists.

Auramere is full of magic . . . and monsters. And the Wild Hunt is on the prowl. It's up to Vanya to unmask its leader and stop them from destroying the only place she's ever truly belonged.
