The second book in a rich, eerie middle grade fantasy duology full of magic, monsters, and miles and miles of untamed forest, from Rochelle Hassan, author of The Prince of Nowhere. Perfect for fans of Over the Garden Wall and Serafina and the Black Cloak. If there's one thing Nox Winters knows about the mystifying Nightwood since defeating Adam Motte and saving his twin brother, Noah, from the deadly illness that would have turned him into a moros tree, it's that he's never going back. It doesn't matter that he's been crowned the next Keeper of the Night, a power and a position he didn't even choose, let alone want. However, Adam's absence in the hidden world has kicked off a gruesome chain of events that's left the realm of eternal darkness unbalanced. When Violet comes to Nox asking for his help in stabilizing the Nightwood's magic, he begrudgingly agrees. But when Violet's mom goes missing, Nox, Noah, and their friends embark on a harrowing journey to bring her back. Soon it becomes clear that Adam's departure might have more consequences than they thought, and although Nox may be ready to put the Nightwood behind him, the Nightwood isn't ready to let him go...
