A Barnes & Noble Best Book of 2024.
While hiking, Rhi discovers four young women living wild and guarded by wolves. The girls tell her that they are lost princesses raised by a man called Mother.
Shocked, Rhi takes them to hospital, all the while haunted by memories of her family trauma. Surely, the girls have been abducted, misled or abused? Yet she can see a bond between them that blurs fantasy and reality.
As media hysteria surrounding the young women grows, Rhi comes to a decision that will change all of their lives forever.
