The Luminaries

Description

Hidden away from the world's prying eyes, Hemlock Falls remains shrouded in mystery. With no signposts to guide you and modern gadgets rendered useless, it's a town where the encroaching woods hold secrets that could spell doom. For Winnie Wednesday, the path to redemption lies within the Luminaries, the venerable guardians shielding not just Hemlock Falls but humanity itself from the nightmarish creatures that lurk in the forest's shadows. The stain of her father's alleged treachery has marred her family's reputation, turning them into outcasts. Yet, as she turns sixteen, Winnie eyes a glimmer of hope—endure the lethal Luminary hunter trials and reclaim her family's honor. The trials could also be her end.
Seeking a chance at survival, Winnie turns to the enigmatic Jay Friday, her estranged childhood ally and Hemlock Fall's emerging hunter prodigy. But Jay's knowledge of the forest's horrors is unsettlingly vast, hinting at clandestine truths. As the two join forces, they uncover a threat from the woods that Hemlock Falls has never faced before.

For in this town, not every fiend can be vanquished, and the most haunting terrors aren't always shrouded in night.
