She was born and raised and entrenched in a society that is not good. “The leader of her clan is not a good person not a good leader. “Her race has been corrupted and has been declining and withering,” Beatty explained. But she also faces the threat of evil within her own kind. She views humans as evil, as they cut down trees and destroy the natural environment of the Great Smoky Mountains. She’s a young girl who is a member of the Faeren clan.



When Willa discovers a mysterious dark hollow filled with strange and beautiful creatures, she comes to realize that it contains a terrifying force that seems to be hunting humans. How can she fight the destroyers of the forest and their powerful machines?

But as crews of newly arrived humans start cutting down great swaths of the forest she loves, she is helpless to stop them. Willa and her clan are the last of the Faeran, an ancient race of forest people who have lived in the Great Smoky Mountains for as long as the trees have grown there. This enchanting companion to Robert Beatty's instant #1 New York Times bestseller Willa of the Wood is perfect for any reader who cares deeply about the natural world.
