Enter a world where grief grows in the garden, and the bravest thing you can do is finish someone else's story.
Twelve-year-old Elowen Vane arrives at Ravenmoor Hall on a grey November afternoon with a carpet bag, a letter from a London solicitor, and a grief she does not yet know how to carry. Her uncle is a ghost in his own house. The doors are mostly locked. And at night, through the walls, someone is crying.
But beneath the frost-dead greenhouse at the estate's forgotten edge, Elowen finds a key. And behind the key, a door. And behind the door, an impossible garden: the Dreaming Garden, a living section of the Library Between Worlds, built from every story ever told about growing things, about seasons, about putting your hands in the earth and finding something there that answers.
The Garden is half-frozen. A grief left unfinished has become the Withering, a cold that stops stories at their worst moment and holds them there. To save the Garden, Elowen must find the ending of a story that was never completed. She will need the help of Aldric, a boy who has been told he will die young and has started to believe it, and Wren, who knows the name of every living thing and can hear what plants are not doing.
In the second book of the Storykeeper Chronicles, Jeff Muff returns to the Library Between Worlds with a new heroine, a new mystery, and a garden that has been waiting for exactly the right reader.
