A Far Wilder Magic
Allison Saft
A MAGICAL SECRET. A MYTHICAL HUNT. AND A LOVE THAT COULD RISK EVERYTHING.
In the dark, gothic town of Wickdon, Maggie Welty lives in an old creaking manor. Maggie’s mother is an alchemist who has recently left town, leaving Maggie with just her bloodhound for company. But when Maggie spots a legendary ancient fox-creature on her porch, her fate is changed forever. Whoever tracks down and kills the hala in the Halfmoon Hunt will earn fame and riches - and if Maggie wins the hunt, she knows her mother will want to celebrate her. This is her chance to bring her home.
But the rules state that only teams of two can join the hunt, and while Maggie is known as the best sharpshooter in town, she needs an alchemist.
Enter Wes Winters. He isn’t an alchemist … yet. Fired from every apprenticeship he’s landed, this is his last chance.
Maggie and Wes make an unlikely team - a charismatic but troubled boy, and a girl who has endured life on the outskirts of a town that never welcomed her. But as the hunt takes over, the pair are drawn together as they uncover a darker magic that may put everything they hold dear in peril…
A rich and tender YA fantasy love story. Perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and Finbar Hawkins.

Tye Cattanach
Seventeen-year-old Maggie Welty has lived her entire life on the outskirts of Wickdon, a town that has never fully welcomed or accepted her. Her mother Evelyn Welty (an alchemist) left town months earlier on a research trip, leaving Maggie alone to look after the old gothic manor they inhabit, with only an aging bloodhound named Trouble for company. Maggie has no idea when or if her mother might return.
Wes Winters has been fired from every alchemist apprenticeship he has ever had but has the highest of hopes that Evelyn Welty might be willing to give him a chance. When Wes arrives at Welty Manor to find Maggie alone and in need of an alchemist she can trust to partner with for the legendary Halfmoon Hunt, what happens next seems fated by a much higher power.
It has been quite some time since I was able to delight in such a thrilling, gothic romance. So I welcomed a chance to immerse myself entirely, to escape to a world filled with alchemy, mythical creatures, charismatic characters, a cracking adventure and a tantalising romance – exactly what A Far Wilder Magic delivers.
Allison Saft is extraordinarily skilled at crafting characters and storylines that make it impossible to put her books down, and A Far Wilder Magic is no exception. Expeditious and exciting, Saft has woven a tender and enthralling romance that will thrill and delight readers who enjoy Sarah J. Maas, Laini Taylor and V. E. Schwab. For ages 14+.
