More About This Book

Overview

“We live here, my girl, because it is close to the Way, and echoes of its magic are felt in our world. The Way is a path leading to another place, where the people are governed by different rules. Magic runs through them and their land.”

With her boundless curiosity and wild spirit, Fer has always felt that she doesn’t belong. Not when the forest is calling to her, when the rush of wind through branches feels more real than school or the quiet farms near her house. Then she saves an injured creature—he looks like a boy, but he’s really something else. He knows who Fer truly is, and invites her through the Way, a passage to a strange, dangerous land.

Fer feels an instant attachment to this realm, where magic is real and oaths forge bonds stronger than iron. But a powerful huntress named the Mór rules here, and Fer can sense that the land is perilously out of balance. Fer must unlock the secrets about the parents she never knew and claim her true place before the worlds on both sides of the Way descend into endless winter.

Sarah Prineas captivates in this fantasy-adventure about a girl who must find within herself the power to set right a terrible evil.

Editorial Reviews

Kirkus Reviews
An atmospheric middle-grade fantasy ties the coming of age to the turning of the year. Young Fer (short for "Jennifer") loves her strict Grand-Jane and the herbal lore she teaches, but she feels more at home in the woods and fields than in the concrete and iron cage of her school. When she rescues the shapeshifting puck Rook, Fer opens a Way into a place of wild beauty, deep magic and strange half-human denizens. The land's glamorous Lady claims friendship with Fer's lost parents and begs her allegiance, but Fer senses something deeply wrong: something that holds Rook sullen and silent, forces the people into savagery and keeps the land in the grip of relentless winter… something that is now spreading to Fer's home. Prineas calls upon Celtic (and a few Nordic) traditions to build a vivid fantasy world, steeped in pagan sensibilities, where the cycle of seasons resonates with the awakening of identity. The prose is lush and sensuous, evoking the sounds and tastes and scents of the natural world. Unusually, almost every character (except the puck-in-distress) is female, portrayed in all ages and roles--authority, hero, villain, mentor, warrior, healer, servant and goddess. Fer is herself brave and kind, but not unrealistically so; her magic is both matter-of-fact and a source of quiet joy. There's no flashy pyrotechnic wizardry to dazzle here, but the right readers will find refreshment in a tale as muted and miraculous as the return of spring. (Fantasy. 10-14)
School Library Journal
Gr 4–8—In this fantasy adventure, young Fer feels that she doesn't belong in her world. When she rescues a magical boy who can turn into a dog and hears the beckoning of the Way, a path into another realm, she decides to try to discover what might have happened to her parents, who have been "gone from this world" since she was a baby. Despite her grandmother's fears, she enters a land that is ruled by a powerful and dangerous huntress, the Mór, and populated with strange creatures and humans that can morph into animals. Along her journey, Fer discovers her healing powers and inner strength; she also learns about her parents and her family's connection to this enchanted, perilous place. The story has a steady pace and solid character development. The description-rich writing provides an excellent sense of the how the characters experience their surroundings, and the setting of this unnatural realm is intricately woven into the plot. An appealing and empowering tale.—Molly M. Collins, Burlington Public Library, MA

Meet the Author

Sarah Prineas
Sarah Prineas

Sarah Prineas lives in the midst of the corn in Iowa City, Iowa, and can usually be found writing fantasy novels and stories on a stealthy silver MacBook called Pip. Prineas’s Magic Thief series introduced readers to the irascible wizard Nevery and his gutterboy apprentice, Connwaer. Sarah holds a PhD in English literature and recently taught honors seminars on fantasy and science fiction literature at the University of Iowa. She has an amazing dragon action-figure collection and occasionally bakes biscuits (although she says hers never seem to turn out as tasty as Benet’s do in The Magic Thief).

Sarah is married to John Prineas, a physics professor, which comes in handy when she’s writing about magic. They are the parents of Maud and Theo.

    A book that makes you feel like a kid again

    Jennifer lives with her grandmother who likes to keep her inside and teaches her about the power of herbs, but Fer has always felt more like herself when she is outside feeling the fresh air and nature calling for her.
    One day she can't take it anymore and she runs outside in the middle of the night, she ends up saving what she thought was a big dog but ends up being a boy around her age, this mysterious boy with yellow eyes that leaves Fer with doubts of who she is and starts to question how much her grandmother really knows about the parents she never knew.
    Fer is soon called into this other world and thirsty for answers she follows, once in the new world she feels like she finally belongs, but she also feels that there is something wrong with the land.
    While Fer try's to learn as much as possible of this land full of magic, she learns that the wrongness of the lands is affecting everyone that follows the lady of the land. And the desperation from the lady to keep Fer from asking to much questions and the lady's efforts to bring Fer to her side, push Fer into questioning everything and finding out the truth about her parents and this strange land where magic is real and oaths hold true power, even more. But is she ready to know the answers?

    This is a book that both adults and kids can enjoy, for the adults I feel this book brings out the little kid in you and the story is interesting and leaves the kids with a good message. Sarah Prineas creates a world that is unique, easy to imagine, read and get lost in.
    As I read this book it brought up that sense of curiosity that felt child like, a need to know what happens next, how Fer is going to fend against the latest threat or lie that comes her way.
    Honestly I don't have kids, but I feel like it would be the perfect book to share with the little ones, in my case my little cousins. I can't wait to discover what other things Sarah Prineas has written nor can I wait to see how the Winterling series will turn out.
