Overview

An estranged uncle, a mysterious mansion, and Arthurian legend-together they lead to a world of magic and bloodthirsty wizards who want teenage Brinnie dead.Brynna ""Brinnie"" Lane has always lived a quiet life under the watchful eye of her hovering mother-until she's sent off for the summer to live with an uncle she didn't know she had. While her parents get to travel across the globe, she'll be spending three months in the middle of nowhere: upstate New York. It looks like she might spend the entire summer friendless with her nose in a book. However, she soon finds that Wraithwood Estate, her uncle's creepy old mansion, holds as many secrets as the man himself. When Brinnie is warned not to explore any of it, her curiosity only grows. As unnatural events take place and Brinnie hears whispers of a hidden war, she must unravel the truth about her family's mysterious past if she wants to survive. Something terrible happened at Wraithwood thirty years ago, and Brinnie is determined to find out what-even if it means confronting the possibility that magic is real.

""Immersive, atmospheric, and brimming with magic, Wraithwood presents a skillful take on Arthurian legends, harnessing a gothic manor and ensemble of enchanting characters to create an unforgettable read. A treasure for any booklover. Alyssa Roat is a wizard at her craft.""- Caroline George, author of Dearest Josephine (HarperCollins) ""An instant classic. You can't help but fall in love with all the characters, especially Brinnie. I'm incredibly picky with books I like, and I fell in love with this one. Arthurian legend like you've never seen it before, and all incredibly complex characters. You can tell the author threw her heart and soul into this book, and I cannot wait to find out what happens next in Brinnie's adventure."" - Hope Bolinger, author of the Blaze trilogy ""The irresistible first book in a planned trio, Wraithwood's world is both magical and familiar. Supernatural revelations enter the story in an unobtrusive way: chairs float in the air; a bedroom emerges from a blanket in a wizard's hovel; an impenetrable maze proves to be the best estate security. But it's Brinnie's empathetic search for answers, and for her own identity among the wizards, that will carry affectionate interest in her story forward into the trilogy's next volumes.""- Foreword Reviews ""In Wraithwood, Alyssa Roat strikes a balance between intrigue and whimsy just right for young teen readers. It's a perfect summer read!"" - Lindsay A. Franklin, award-winning author of The Story Peddler ""Wraithwood is a magical and notable retelling of Arthurian legend."" - Reader's Favorite 5-star review
