Description
"Phenomenal." - KIRKUS Starred Review
"Beautiful and terrifying." - BOOKLIST Starred Review
"Unusual and unforgettable." - FOREWORD
Peek through the leaves, beyond the clouded mountains, and you will find a garden with a strange attendant and an even stranger purpose.
A young mage, asleep in a meadow, wakes to delights and fanciful spells that open a door to unknown wonder. Then, they eagerly step through to find only horror and death. There is no swashbuckling adventure in store; this world means them cold and deadly harm, and they'll need all their resilience, wit, and magic to push it back.
Gaze through fascinating silent windows into a terrifying dimension and follow the wordless Mage and their companions as they travel a shadowy fantastical land of monsters. Will they survive this endlessly curious mystery, or will the unforgiving darkness swallow them whole?
