Cordelia has always known her mother is different—unusual, even. Their house has no doors, and friendships are forbidden. Her only solace is Falada, her mother’s stunning white horse, and their stolen rides through the countryside.
But it isn’t just her mother’s eccentricity that sets her apart. Other mothers don’t trap their daughters in silence for days. Other mothers aren’t sorcerers.
When they move into a wealthy Squire’s manor, Cordelia fears the kind-hearted Squire and his sister Hester are her mother’s next victims. Yet, for the first time, Cordelia feels at home.
To save them from her mother’s sinister magic, she’ll have to choose: defy the only family she’s ever known—or lose the only one she’s ever truly wanted.
