Twelve-year-old Aurora has always been warned to stay away from Whisperwood Forest, where trees move when no one's watching and strange lights dance between branches at night. When her younger sister Willow vanishes during a game of hide-and-seek near the forest edge, Aurora has no choice but to enter the forbidden woods to find her. Joined by her cautious neighbor Finn and the mysterious forest child Moss who claims to know the way, Aurora discovers Whisperwood is alive with ancient magic and hidden creatures who've been watching the nearby village for generations. As she unravels the forest's secrets, she learns that Willow wasn't taken but called, chosen to help restore balance between the human and magical worlds before an ancient darkness consumes them both.
