One Book, One Niagara is back
The fourth annual One Book, One Niagara returns on Thursday, October 22 for a conversation with Kristen Ciccarelli about her book, A Dark Forgetting. Join SCPL and 12 other Niagara libraries for this author talk complete with a discussion, book reading, audience Q&A, and book signing.
A Dark Forgetting is the epic love story of a magical girl, the boy she left behind, and a deadly curse. Inspired by the lush woodlands of Niagara, A Dark Forgetting brings readers on a fantastical adventure, where magic lingers at the edge of the wood.
About the Book:
No matter how far she runs, the forest always comes for Emeline Lark, haunting her with its mysterious disappearances and its tales of fae magic.
When her grandfather goes missing, Emeline is forced to venture into the woods to save him. There, Hawthorne Fell, a handsome and brooding tithe collector, brutally tries to dissuade her from searching, even as a magnetic spark ignites between them.
Undeterred, Emeline enters the court of the fabled Wood King and makes a deal: her voice for her grandfather’s freedom. Little does she know, she’s stumbled into a curse that threatens the very existence of this eerie world she’s now trapped in. To survive, she’ll need to team up with the fiery yet secretive Hawthorne. If she fails, she’ll lose everything she holds dear.
