Fairies have been extinct for centuries. At least, that's what everyone believes.

At the edge of the West End, beside the lazy river, an ordinary-looking farm hides an extraordinary world. Elves patrol the skies on the backs of birds, pixies tend the flowers alongside their buzzing companions, and an entire underground community works together to keep the heart of Washington alive.

Until someone plants a root that doesn't belong.

Without warning, the earth splits, the gardens collapse, and creatures long buried begin walking again. Deep within an ancient willow, golden chambers awaken, revealing a fairy named Lilica and a terrible mystery surrounding the disappearance of her kind.

But not every fairy wakes as they should.

With her family still trapped in enchanted amber and black-eyed creatures emerging from the roots, Lilica has no choice but to search for answers in a world she no longer recognizes. Her unlikely companions are Pippa, a sharp-tongued pixie with a talent for trouble, and Butterbum, an oversized bumblebee whose courage tends to arrive several moments after his fear.

Together, they'll uncover forbidden magic, dangerous traders, and a secret buried beneath the very roots of their home.

Because someone has been trying to bring the fairies back.

And whatever they've created is beginning to wake.

A darkly whimsical fantasy filled with magical creatures, mischievous humor, unexpected romance, ancient secrets, and a little bit of horror.

From Channa X, author of Wheeling Witch Trials, comes a new adventure in the Witches of the West End universe.
