The wind is lonely, and always looking for company.
The town of Near has rules: Never talk to strangers. Never listen when the wind calls at night. And never forget the old stories.
But when a mysterious boy appears on the moors—one who vanishes like smoke—Lexi knows that something is changing. Then, the children of Near begin to disappear from their beds, vanishing into the night without a trace. The town blames the stranger.
But Lexi isn’t so sure. As she searches for answers, she is drawn deeper into the legend of the Near Witch, who may not be just a story after all.
A spellbinding blend of fairy tale and gothic mystery, The Near Witch is the haunting debut of V.E. Schwab—now in a stunning deluxe edition.
