Prepare to be enchanted by "The Crow Folk," a captivating tale where Spitfires soar, ancient secrets unravel, and a young woman's destiny takes flight.

Meet Faye Bright, an extraordinary soul who has always felt a touch of otherness. Her world transforms when she stumbles upon her late mother's cherished diary—a remarkable treasure brimming with bewitching spells, enigmatic runes, enchanting incantations, and a recipe for jam roly-poly. Within those pages lies the revelation that Faye is a rightful heir to her mother's magical legacy.

With the arrival of the Crow Folk haunting the quaint village of Woodville, Faye's newfound powers couldn't have arrived at a more crucial moment. Led by the enigmatic and charismatic Pumpkinhead, these mysterious beings wield a dangerous magic that threatens both Faye and the unsuspecting villagers. Equipped with her mother's words as her guide, her trusty bicycle as her steed, the begrudging assistance of two eccentric old ladies, and the resounding toll of the church bells, Faye will rise to the forefront of an unexpected war.

Transporting readers into a world where war and mystery converge with a sprinkling of enchantment, "The Crow Folk" is a delightful novel that will captivate fans of acclaimed authors Lev Grossman and Terry Pratchett. Join Faye Bright on her spellbinding journey as she unravels the secrets of her heritage and discovers the courage to confront a threat no one could have foreseen.
