Description
"Peters writes with elegance, penning descriptions that breathe life into the narrative." - Publisher's Weekly Booklife
Thirteen-year-old Wren has never even heard of a griffin. She lives in a locked school attic that's watched over by three overbearing caretakers all dressed in black. One day, while hanging precariously from a rooftop, Wren overhears some frightening news: she's the daughter of the evil Griffin King and is destined to wear his crown of dark magic. When a golden acorn is delivered by an anonymous benefactor, it comes with a note that simply says "For Wren". That acorn is her magical key to a world she was never meant to visit-the place she was born. There, Wren's forgotten castle awaits her, sleeping under a deep spell in a dark and twisted forest. But she has no plans to wear an evil crown. She wants to make friends, the friends she's never had. She wants to eat delicious pastries and tell funny stories by the fireside. If only a dark power wasn't waiting with its own plans... An incredible adventure is about to begin!
