No matter how far she runs, the forest of Edgewood always comes for Emeline Lark. The scent of damp earth curls into her nose when she sings and moss creeps across the stage. It’s as if the woods of her childhood, shrouded in folklore and tall tales, are trying to reclaim her. But Emeline has no patience for silly superstitions.
When her grandfather disappears, leaving only a mysterious orb in his wake, the stories Emeline has always scoffed at suddenly seem less foolish. She enters the forest she has spent years trying to escape, only to have Hawthorne Fell, a handsome and brooding tithe collector, try to dissuade her from searching.
Refusing to be deterred, Emeline finds herself drawn to the court of the fabled Wood King himself. She makes a deal—her voice for her grandfather’s freedom. Little does she know, she’s stumbled into the middle of a curse much bigger than herself, one that threatens the existence of this eerie world she’s trapped in, along with the devastating boy who feels so familiar.
With the help of Hawthorne—an enemy turned reluctant ally who she grows closer to each day—Emeline sets out to not only save her grandfather’s life, but to right past wrongs, and in the process, discover her true voice.
Haunting and romantic, Kristen Ciccarelli's Edgewood is an exciting novel from a bold, unforgettable voice in fantasy.

The magic system in Edgewood is captivating. I loved how Emeline's music served as her magic, showcasing its versatility and power. The curse that slowly consumed the forest and the king added another layer of intrigue to the story.
The relationships between the characters, particularly the dynamic between Emeline and Hawthorne, were a highlight of the book. Hawthorne was a wonderfully crafted character, and the tension between him and Emeline kept me hooked throughout.
Kristen Ciccarelli's writing is simply fantastic. She tells a compelling story with skill and finesse, making her an auto-buy author for me.
In conclusion, Edgewood is a haunting and romantic novel that showcases Ciccarelli's talent as a writer. I highly recommend this book to fans of fantasy and anyone looking for a captivating and beautifully crafted story.
