The Wood Maiden

Coming Soon!

The Wood Maiden is a young adult, historical fantasy novel set in Central Europe during the 19th century partitions of Poland. It is the story of Dąbrowa, an orphan in Pomarania who discovers that she is a leshy—a tree-shifter.

With the help of her young friend, Ancia, and Ancia’s Faceless Doll, Dąbrowa meets ghosts, rusałki, wodnik, vampires, werewolves, and sorcerers, and dragons as they travel across three empires in the hopes of getting to Zaświaty, the magical otherlands, where Dąbrowa and Ancia hope to attend a school for magical creatures and half-breeds.

This book has been illustrated by the author.
