"From the first page, readers will be caught up in this story of
shape-shifters, forest magic, political conflict and the bonds
between friends. The world building is breathtaking and the
characters are complex and engaging. Highly recommended for readers
who like an epic fantasy with heart and spirit."--Juliet Marillier,
author of the Sevenwaters and Warrior Bards series "Forestborn took
me by surprise. It's exciting, heartbreaking, and it would seem as
if Elayne Becker's imagination knows no limits. I will be first in
line for her next book."--T. J. Klune, New York Times bestselling
author of The House in the Cerulean Sea "Like the ancient magic in
its mountains, Forestborn is a tale that settles deep into the
soul, a haunting love song to the dangerous splendor of the
wild--and a testament to the power of friendship on the journey of
grief and healing."--Joanna Hathaway, author of Dark of the West
"The reader flies through Forestborn as Rora, the shape-shifting
protagonist, sails over the treetops, powered by Becker's
propulsively readable style."--Sarah Kozloff, author of The Nine
Realms series "A captivating tale of magic, the bonds of family,
and finding one's place in the world, Forestborn is a fresh take on
the best of classic fantasy."--Katy Rose Pool, author of There Will
Come a Darkness "Both a journey of self-discovery and a survival
story . . . an epic high fantasy adventure with highly descriptive
worldbuilding that is sure to please fans of the genre."--School
Library Journal

Tolkienesque fantasy . . . [with] video game-style landscapes
