In this companion to The Twistrose Key, Niklas, troubled by nightmares of his dead mother, discovers a troll from his imagination in the woods near his house. With his lynx companion, Secret, he embarks on a search for answers. Although the ambitious plot takes some confusing twists and turns, the dreamlike, haunting imagery and intriguing animal-filled fantasy realm Niklas discovers will keep readers invested.
