Age range 13 to 18 A brand new contemporary fantasy world from the New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlands series, Susan Dennard. Hemlock Falls isn't like other towns. It's not on a map, cell phones don't work there, and you might find a ghost-deer grazing at midnight. It's also inhabited by the Luminaries, an ancient order charged with guarding the nearby forest. Each night, when nightmares rise, only the Luminaries stand between humanity and these monsters bent on devastation - one clan for each night of the week. Fourteen orders around the globe. Winnie (of the Wednesday clan) desperately wants to reclaim her family's standing within the Luminaries. In the four years since her dad was caught as a witch, her family has lived as outcasts. Winnie's solution? Pass the hunter trials. Then her family will be welcomed in again. During the first trial, however, Winnie is severely outmatched by the forest's nightmares. So when a new, unknown monster slaughters a banshee and everyone assumes Winnie did the slaughtering, she doesn't correct them. Realising she will never survive the final two trials, Winnie seeks help from her gorgeous exfriend, Jay Friday, who is no longer a baby-faced boy but the best hunter in Hemlock Falls. As Winnie's lies start to pile up around her and bodies start to pile up from the new nightmare, she must protect Hemlock Falls, protect her family's new status, and protect her heart from a former friend with brutal secrets of his own.

Winnie Wednesday has gotten everything she thought she wanted. She passed the deadly hunter trials, her family has been welcomed back into the Luminaries, and overnight, she has become a local celebrity. The Girl Who Jumped. The Girl Who Got Bitten. Unfortunately, it all feels wrong. For one, nobody will believe her about the new nightmare called the Whisperer that's killing hunters each night. Everyone blames the werewolf, even though Winnie is certain the wolf is innocent. On top of that, following her dad's convoluted clues about the Dianas, their magic, and what happened in Hemlock Falls four years ago is leaving her with more questions than answers. Then to complicate it all, there is still only one person who can help her: Jay Friday, the boy with plenty of problems all his own. As bodies and secrets pile up around town, Winnie finds herself questioning what it means to be a true Wednesday and a true Luminary and also where her fierce-hearted loyalties might ultimately have to lie.
