Once a year the people of the Protectorate leave the youngest child in the forest for the witch to eat. This is suppose to appease the witch and prevent her from turning her wrath on the town and its people. But what the people of the Protectorate don't know is that the witch is kind. She journeys to the other side of the forest and finds the babies homes.
Slow to start, this book was hard for me to get through. Although Xan, the forest witch, and Luna, her adopted granddaughter, were the main characters. I cared more for the character of Antain. This could be that I could relate more to him. I am on the fence as to whether or not I would recommend this book even though it is an ORCA nomination.
