This America has been shaped dramatically by the magic, monsters, knowledge, and legends of its peoples, those Indigenous and those not.

But she is going to do more than pry. The picture-perfect facade of Willowbee masks gruesome secrets, and she will rely on her wits, skills, and friends to tear off the mask and protect her family.
