SYNOPSIS:
In this sequel to
FOREST OF WHISPERS, Some secrets cannot be kept—in life or in
death. Months have passed since Rune has heard a single whisper
from her long-dead mother, the great witch of Bavaria. But the
absence of one evil has only made room for another.After rightfully inheriting her ancestral home, Pyrmont Castle, Rune settles into a quiet life taking care of two orphans left in the wake of the terrible witch hunt that claimed dozens of lives in the nearby village. As the days grow colder, the castle’s secrets beckon and Rune finds herself roaming where no one has set foot in a long time. In the bowels of the fortress is a locked room full of memories that hang like cobwebs—shelves stacked with jars, strange specimens, putrid liquids, and scrolls of spells. Rune is undeniably drawn to what she finds there, and she begins to dabble in the possibilities of magic, hoping to find a cure for the strangeness overwhelming the castle.
As secrets unspool, the delicate thread of Rune’s world is threatened when she realizes the key may lie in the dark forest she once called home and the boy she thought she knew.

PRAISE FOR FOREST OF WHISPERS
"A
story of magick and discovery."
-- Readers' Favorite: Five-Star review for FOREST OF WHISPERS
"FOREST
OF WHISPERS drew me in from
the very first page! Rune is a capable and empathetic heroine who had
me rooting for her from the start. Fans of witch and rune-lore will
enjoy this darkly woven tale." ~Amalie
Howard, author of critically acclaimed Waterfell,
The Almost Girl, and Alpha Goddess, a
Spring 2014 Kids' INDIE NEXT title.
"NOT your average teenage witch!
Jennifer Murgia's FOREST OF WHISPERS is a dark, brooding
mystery/thriller that captures the paranoid, plague-driven frenzy of
17th Century Europe with the speed and power of a galloping stallion.
Rune, a 16-year old with formidable abilities that she herself can
barely understand, must fight her own inner demons as well as what
seems to be a whole world gone awry with bloodlust for her kind. This
is a thrilling read." ~
Molly Cochran, author of LEGACY & POISON
