Available in EPUB and MOBI formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

Serissa Holaydark's truth-revealing magic was supposed to show what lay hidden in a simple wooden box. Instead, it exposed the Academy Headmaster's most shameful secrets to an entire examination hall—and earned her immediate expulsion from the only world she'd ever known. Cast out by her family and rejected by a magical system that demands conformity above all else, Serissa flees into the Hollowbound Forest, where impossible things are said to grow in the wild spaces between worlds. What she discovers there changes everything: living grimoires that choose their own partners, tiny Mosslings who tend gardens of impossible books, and magic that works through collaboration rather than control. But Serissa isn't the only refugee from the Academy's rigid expectations. As other magical outcasts find their way to the forest's heart—a water-mage whose power was brutally "corrected," a plant-speaker whose gifts were dismissed as mere agriculture, an illusion-weaver whose magic insists on revealing truth instead of hiding it—they must learn to build something unprecedented: a sanctuary where being different isn't a defect to be cured, but a gift the world desperately needs. From the seeds of their shared exile, they'll grow a community that could transform the kingdom's understanding of what magic can become—if they can learn to trust not just their wild abilities, but each other. The first enchanting tale in The Wild Grimoires series, where magic blooms brightest in the spaces others forgot to tend. Perfect for readers who loved The Ten Thousand Doors of January and The Goblin Emperor
