Description
William knows his father is dead. Everyone knows it . . . everyone except William's sister, who hears him calling to her. Despite William's warnings, she disappears in the night to find their father. To rescue his sister, William must travel through dangerous forests swarming with bandits. But human foes are the least of his problems. His quest will take him beyond the world he knows and into far-off lands—where monsters are real, the dead can speak, and lies become truths. With an enchanted goat as his guide, William follows a strange path that may lead to his sister . . . and perhaps his father as well.

Advance Praise
"A sprawling, richly imagined medieval adventure....This epic, detailed journey moves swiftly, punctuated by largely wordless and often glaringly bloody action scenes.... Like many other adventure tales, this examines questions of good and evil, but in William's world, lines aren't so clearly drawn, leaving for an open-ended conclusion. An interesting, distinctive adventure for readers tolerant of ambiguity." —Kirkus Reviews
