For this week's #BookQW I'm switching to A Touch of Shadows by Jessica Thorne which just came out in the US in paperback yesterday.

A little introduction to Wren, apprentice hedgewitch & the darkwood.

A painted background based on the cover of A Touch of Shadows, with a starry sky, crossed twigs with thorns and pink and yellow flowers. The cover of A Touch of Shadows itself appears in the bottom left hand corner with the same image and the Title. Text reads: "This week's #BookQW is WISH. The village wasn't far, if you knew the right path to take. Of course, if you didn't you might never be seen again. But Wren had grown up here. The darkwood had been her playground as soon as she could walk and it had never turned on her. Not once. Which should have been a warning in and of itself. It sang to her, called to her. But she remembered what Elodie had always said and tried to only ever reach for the light. She just wished it wasn't so hard. A Touch of Shadows, Book One of The Lost Queen (Second Sky / Forever)"
