Aldermere is a town with its own set of rules: there’s a tea shop that vanishes if you try to force your way in, crows that must be fed or they’ll go through your trash, and a bridge that has a toll that no one knows the cost of. The magic-infused town is the first place eleven-year-old Fin has ever felt safe, and she’ll do whatever it takes to save her new home when she accidentally unleashes a shadow self who wreaks havoc everywhere she goes. Can she face her fears — literally — to help save her home?
