For centuries, they have harvested souls to feed the heartless tree, using its power to grow their ever reaching kingdom of ash, birch, and oak.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOwen Merrick lives at the edge of the forest, mapping the stars for the king in his father’s observatory. For years, he has resisted venturing over the garden wall, until one day he must enter the woods to find his missing sister. But one of the witch’s tree siren daughters, Seren, decides to save his life instead of end it. Now, no matter how hard he tries, he can’t stop thinking about her — the birch-bright hue of her skin and the way violets bloom in her hair. Every night, he goes into the wood to meet her, and their love for each other grows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut when the constellations shift, the stars foretell an inevitable war between the witch queen and the king. With Seren compelled to fight for her mother, and Owen forced to join the king’s army, they are plunged into the heart of a conflict that seemingly no one can win and that might destroy both their kingdoms forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e* \"[W]onderfully imaginative...Into the Heartless Wood is easy to get lost in and hard to come back from, thanks to Meyer's excellent world building.\" —\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\"Into the Heartless Wood is an intense and haunting fairy tale tinged with horror, romance and magic, and filled with beautiful imagery of nature and love… gorgeously written, deeply intense and emotionally fulfilling.\" —\u003cb\u003eShelf Awareness\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A captivating fantasy story that takes readers on a journey...\" \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—School Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eUprooted\u003c\/i\u003e meets \u003ci\u003eThe Little Mermaid\u003c\/i\u003e in this gorgeously atmospheric and literally heart-wrenching monster girlfriend story.” —\u003cb\u003eRosamund Hodge, New York Times bestselling author of \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eCruel Beauty\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e“Brimming with lush prose, endearing characters and soul-stirring stakes, \u003ci\u003eInto the Heartless Wood\u003c\/i\u003e is reminiscent to Seren’s siren call—completely irresistible.” —\u003cb\u003eRebecca Ross, author of \u003ci\u003eSisters of Sword \u0026amp; Song\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A luminous, impassioned fairytale, alternately dark as choking briars and shot through with pulsing starlight.
