All her life Lux has been hearing the whispers. They say that she is as fey and doomed as her brother and sister and that her mother just appeared one day in the wolf-pits, pale green and mysterious. Sometimes they even say she can talk to Them. When Lux discovers a secret so unspeakable that her father would kill to protect it she finds herself on the edge of the forest ready to find out if it's true what they say about Robin Goodfellow.
