The River Has Roots
The Sweeping, Magical Solo Debut by the Best-Selling Co-Author of THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR
By Amal El-Mohtar
Harry Hartog's review
I feel bereft having finished this book (and incredibly validated that I stalked El-Mohtar’s debut novel since its whispers). This is a perfect faerie tale. Rich in the magic of its language and Grammar, and delivering a message both timeless and timely. A story I’ll read many times until its patterns are imprinted on my heart. Great for fans of Heather Fawcett, Naomi Novik and Juliet Marillier. - Maddi, Harry Hartog Maroochydore
Description
Follow the river Liss to the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, and meet two sisters who cannot be separated, even in death.
'Oh what is stronger than a death? Two sisters singing with one breath.'
In the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, dwells the mysterious Hawthorn family.
There, they tend and harvest the enchanted willows and honour an ancient compact to sing to them in thanks for their magic. None more devotedly than the family's latest daughters, Esther and Ysabel, who cherish each other as much as they cherish the ancient trees.
But when Esther rejects a forceful suitor in favor of a lover from the land of Faerie, not only the sisters' bond but also their lives will be at risk...
The River Has Roots is the hugely anticipated solo debut of the New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award winning author Amal El-Mohtar.
Features beautiful interior illustrations.
