About This Book
The crisp rustle of leaves and the shimmer of fading magic fill the air as two boys, seemingly twins, sleep unaware of the secret nestled between them. One is a changeling, a rare goblin child, hidden in plain sight. When a mysterious call summons them to a shadowy forest, their sleepy town fades behind, and a world of magic and monsters awaits—what will they discover about themselves?
