From Colin Meloy, lead singer of the Decemberists, and Carson Ellis,
acclaimed illustrator of The Mysterious Benedict Society, comes the
stunning third book in the New York Times bestselling
fantasy-adventure series the Wildwood Chronicles.
A young girl's midnight séance awakens a long-slumbering malevolent
spirit.... A band of runaway orphans allies with an underground
collective of saboteurs and plans a daring rescue of their friends,
imprisoned in the belly of an industrial wasteland.... Two old friends
draw closer to their goal of bringing together a pair of exiled toy
makers in order to reanimate a mechanical boy prince.... As the fate of
Wildwood hangs in the balance.
The Wildwood Chronicles is a mesmerizing and epic tale, at once firmly
steeped in the classics of children's literature and completely fresh at
the same time. In this book, Colin Meloy continues to expand and enrich
the magical world and cast of characters he created in Wildwood, while
Carson Ellis once again brings that world to life with her gorgeous
artwork, including six full-color plates.
