About This Book

A young boy escapes a harsh household and, guided by a forest girl named Ivra, discovers an enchanted wood inhabited by tree-dwellers, bird fairies, and other unseen folk. Episodic chapters lead him into living trees, candlelit gatherings, seasonal wanderings, and perilous places guarded by wind and witchcraft. The narrative shifts between cozy domestic detail and quiet wonder, portraying friendships, initiation into hidden customs, and the porous boundary between the human world and the mysterious life at the heart of the forest.
