Always be over the border by sunset. Listen to the pull of the Boundary Stones. Leave out gratitudes each autumn for Reaping. Respect and fear the Bright-Eyeds. 'All hail the queen of gothic fantasy!' MARA RUTHERFORD A Land So Wide is a dark folkoric romantic fantasy, set in the beautiful but brutal Canadian wilderness: a land of blood-red Redcap trees, mysterious Boundary Stones, and the ever-present threat of those who haunt the Unclaimed Lands. ______________________________ Playfully drawing from Scottish folklore, Erin A. Craig's adult debut is both a deeply atmospheric and profoundly romantic exploration of freedom versus security: a stunning celebration of one woman's relentless bravery on a quest to reclaim her lost love - and claim her own future, perfect for fans of Rebecca Ross, Sarah J. Maas, Roshani Chokshi and Axie Oh ___________________ Like everyone else in the settlement of Mistaken, Greer Mackenzie is trapped. Founded by an ambitious Scottish lumber merchant, the tiny town on the edge of the American continent is blessed with rich natural resources that have made its people prosperous - but at a terrible cost. The same woods that have lined the townsfolks' pockets harbor dangerous beasts: wolves, bears, and the Bright-Eyeds - monsters beyond description who have rained utter destruction down on nearby settlements. But Mistaken's founders made a deal with the mysterious Benevolence: the Warding Stones that surround the town will keep the Bright-Eyeds out - and the town's citizens in. Anyone who spends a night within Mistaken's borders belongs to it forever. Greer, a mapmaker and eccentric dreamer, has always ached to explore the world outside, even though she knows she and her longtime love, Ellis Beaufort, will never see it. Until, on the day she and Ellis are meant to finally begin their lives together, Greer watches in horror as her beloved disappears beyond the Warding Stones, pursued by a monstrous creature. Swiftly realizing that the stories she was raised on might be more myth than fact, Greer figures out a way to escape Mistaken for the very first time. Determined to rescue Ellis, she begins a trek through the cold and pitiless wilderness. But Greer is being hunted, not only by the ruthless Bright-Eyeds, but by the secret truths behind Mistaken's founding, as well as her own origins. ______________________________
