Before the White Forest was born, before the Great World Cry, the story that started it all ...

Briggy, what happens when the Hourglass runs out? Brigitta wished she had paid more attention to her Auntie Ferna's lessons. Being able to string a thunder-bug symphony wasn't going to help them now. She didn't know exactly what would happen when the Hourglass ran out, since no living faerie knew a time when the Hourglass didn't protect the forest . . . But even though she couldn't remember the details, she did know that without the Hourglass there would be no White Forest . . . A charming middle-grade fantasy series, "Faerie Tales from the White Forest" watches the journey of young Brigitta of the White Forest as she has to save her beloved people from a spell that has turned everyone to stone.

A Christmas party in zero gee; ten fancy men leaping through a cattle drive camp; a dancer at the end of the world-these are not your typical Christmas images, just as these are not your usual takes on the twelve days of Christmas. Sandra Odell brings an edgier, more fantastical approach to the holiday season, reimagining the classic song in her own way.

Brigitta's adventures continue when the balance of the White Forest is disturbed and the Elders lose contact with the Ethereals. Against their advice, High Priestess Ondelle asks Brigitta to accompany her to the old faerie ruins of Noe to find a way to reconnect with the Ancients. What they discover when they arrive is something they never learned from any faerie tale. Why had this dark secret been kept from them? Why in the name of Faweh had the Ancients left some faeries behind? Brigitta and Ondelle are caught in a dangerous feud between two factions of feral faeries whose leaders will stop at nothing to access what little sorcery Noe has left.

In these sixteen stories, Lauren Dixon dives with headlong fearlessness into the blood and guts beneath the clean white façade of patriarchy. She is a sheela-na-gig birthing yetis and luchadors and girls who won't die, zombies and killers and days of the week: an orgy of vagical surrealism that cuts to the bone and seeds hope in the wounds for the future.

Picking up where Book Three (Ondelle of Grioth) left off, Voyage from Foraglenn tells the story of Brigitta's most dangerous journey yet: sailing across the seas in search of the final Purviews. As the world descends deeper into elemental chaos, and the Eternal Dragon's energy weakens, Brigitta feels the pressure of time running out. Her traveling companions are in for the long haul, but Brigitta is having trouble letting them in. Croilus is up to his old tricks, invading her thoughts and dreams, and she can't decide which course of action to take to keep everyone safe. She knows she must open the Purviews and reunite the old civilizations in order to rebalance Faweh, but in doing so, she may be putting the world in another kind of danger. Could she possibly be leading Croilus to a way to kill the Eternal Dragon and take control of the most powerful magic the world has even known? Brigitta's exciting adventures continue in this penultimate book of the series.
