‘At turns gorgeous, humorous, horrifying and awe-inspiring.’ — Fantasy Book Review

Twig has always felt a little different. He was raised by woodtrolls, but he isn’t one of them.

One day, Twig, ever-curious about his past, does what no woodtroll has ever done before – he strays from the path. Into the strange and dangerous Deepwoods.

So begins a heart-stopping adventure filled with incredible creatures and unforgettable characters, brought to life by extraordinary illustrations throughout. Befriend banderbears and slaughterers, dodge halitoads, hover-worms, bloodoaks and rotsuckers, and join Twig on a journey like no other, as he discovers the truth about his past, and the world beyond the Deepwoods.

A richly inventive fantasy
