The Rooted and the Winged

For the forest to survive, we must Unite. Fafnir is a faerie with immortal blood in his veins; blood he revoked the Ancient Law to protect. Now, hungry for eternal life, faeries are choosing immortality over duty. Too many. Without their tether to the fae, the dryads are dying—and the sanctuary of their forest is fading. Esen is a young dryad who has just begun to Walk the earth. When a terrible flood causes her sister to rise above ground early, sickly and weak, Esen knows she needs a strong forest to survive. Determined for her sister to Walk, she joins a stranger on his quest to reunite the faeries and the dryads. Together, Fafnir and Esen journey to the fae of the river, mountains, and the sea to warn them of the dangers of the dryads’ plight. But even as they rally others to their selfless cause, Fafnir has a secret that begins to destroy him, Esen—even the forest itself. Perfect for older fans of Earthsea, and lavishly illustrated, The Rooted and the Winged will whisk you to an enchanting world—and shake you to your core.
