A song is stealing children into Grimforest. Flora Aine is the one child it cannot command.
After enormous wolves kill her father, Flora Aine is taken to Lasiandra House, where she meets Edwina - a girl who has survived by letting everyone believe she cannot speak.
Together they uncover a sealed file, a false rescuer, and a bureaucracy that has been waiting for Flora since before she knew there was anything to hide.
Beyond the orphanage, an old man plays a bone flute that calls children into Grimforest. Edwina is compelled by its song. Flora is not.
To bring her friend home, Flora must enter the forest, discover what her mother tried to keep hidden, and confront the people who have decided her life belongs to them.
Darkly funny, unsettling and steeped in folklore, The Galloping Lantern is an illustrated adult dark fantasy about friendship, predation, and the dangerous difference between protection and possession.
