In the enchanting town of Wickdon, nestled amidst the shadows of a gothic landscape, Maggie Welty resides in an ancient creaking manor, accompanied only by her loyal bloodhound. However, her peaceful existence is abruptly disrupted when she glimpses a legendary ancient fox-creature perched upon her porch, forever altering the course of her destiny. The Halfmoon Hunt, a prestigious and perilous endeavor, beckons with the promise of fame and riches, and if Maggie succeeds, she knows that her mother will eagerly celebrate her triumph. Yet, the rules impose a limitation: only teams of two can participate, and Maggie, renowned for her exceptional sharpshooting skills, realizes that she needs the expertise of an alchemist to join forces. Enter Wes Winters, a charismatic yet troubled young man, whose past failures have led him to this very moment. Fired from every apprenticeship he has attempted, this is his last chance to prove his worth. Maggie and Wes form an unlikely alliance, a union of contrasting personalities where a girl who has always felt like an outsider finds solace in the company of a boy with a hidden magic. As the hunt intensifies, drawing them deeper into a realm of darkness, they uncover a sinister power that threatens to unravel everything they cherish. With their hearts on the line and their destinies intertwined, Maggie and Wes must navigate treacherous paths, confront formidable adversaries, and unravel the mysteries that lie within the enigmatic town of Wickdon. In this captivating YA fantasy love story, readers will be swept away into a world of magic, mystery, and danger, where love knows no bounds and the stakes are higher than ever before.
