Synopsis

"A heart-pounding
adventure."—Publishers Weekly (starred
review)

Orphan. Thief. Witch.

A classic
fantasy-adventure reminiscent of Howl's
Moving Castle from New
York Times–bestselling author Claire Legrand.

Twelve-year-old
Quicksilver lives as a thief in the sleepy town of Willow-on-the-River. Her
only companions are her faithful dog and partner in crime, Fox—and Sly Boots,
the shy boy who lets her live in his attic when it’s too cold to sleep on the
rooftops. It’s a lonesome life, but Quicksilver is used to being alone. When
you are alone, no one can hurt you. No one can abandon you.

Then one day Quicksilver
discovers that she can perform magic. Real magic. The kind
that isn’t supposed to exist anymore. Magic is forbidden, but Quicksilver
nevertheless wants to learn more. With real magic, she could become the
greatest thief who ever lived. She could maybe even find her parents. What she
does find, however, is much more complicated and surprising. . . .

Acclaimed
author Claire Legrand’s stunning and original novel explores the danger of lies
and the power of truth, the strength found in friendship, and the value of
loving and being loved . . . even if it means risking your heart. Full of
magic, adventure, and an original and compelling cast of characters, Foxheart will
appeal to fans of Neil Gaiman and Diana Wynne Jones.
