In the Shadow of the Wolf Queen is the beginning of an epic new trilogy from the bestselling adult and children’s author Kiran Millwood Hargrave. We enter a world full of magic and myths, where the Wolf Queen is devouring all the realms, constantly searching – but for what?

In Glaw Wood, Ysolda loves being surrounded by the trees, always listening, awaiting a reply, like the ones her sister Hari hears. But Ysolda isn’t one of the gifted like Hari. Their world is peaceful, but lonely; they only have each other. So, when the Wolf Queen’s warriors come and start collecting gifted ones, Hari is taken. Ysolda must follow and use her wits to bargain for Hari’s life.

This is a story of sisterly love and perseverance, all told in Millwood Hargrave’s lyrical and flowing style. It’s a new classic in the making, one for readers who love the works of Jessica Townsend, Chris Colfer and Kelly Barnhill. For ages 9+.
