Bodhi Bagsly - Hardcover

by Chad R. Martin (Author)

Pumpkin Stone is a village unlike any other.

Its streets wind beneath a harvest moon that never feels quite right, its lanterns glow with uneasy fire, and its people live under a shadow they dare not name. When the curse falls, neighbors vanish into the vines, their laughter twisting into silence, their faces never the same when they return.

Fourteen-year-old Bodhi Bagsly has always lived in the shadow of that curse. When a carving of his-a wooden wolf-stirs with a strange, living fire, Bodhi finds himself pulled into a story far older and darker than he imagined.

With Tibby, whose clockwork hare ticks with uncanny life, Fergus, who can coax the roots themselves to obey, and Nyssa, a witch with secrets tangled deep in the marsh, Bodhi must follow the signs before the curse swallows everything.

But something else walks the fields.

A living shadow, patient and watchful, whispering of debts long owed.

Pumpkin Stone remembers.

And it will not let its children go easily.
