Payshance Averlee’s parents are missing. They would never leave without warning. They would never disappear on the eve of her thirteenth birthday. But when Payshance follows the mystery deep into the forest of Averlee, she discovers a hidden world she never knew existed, and a power she never knew belonged to her.
There she meets Charlie, a fox protector with a shadowed past, a tea-drinking beaver historian with far too much to say, and Sampson, a mighty squirrel with courage bigger than the trees themselves. When Payshance unlocks their voices, the magic of Averlee begins to awaken.
But so does the darkness. King Mordoom and his army of Lycans are rising. The Drifters are collecting souls. And the veil between Averlee and the human world is beginning to weaken.
To find her parents, Payshance must discover who she really is and whether her music has the power to save both worlds.
Enter Averlee, where every song carries magic, every secret has a cost, and one girl stands on the brink of something terrifyingly great.
