Winter Veil

Winter has come to Willowmere, and this time it is not weather. The frost climbs inside the houses, the snow cuts the valley off from the world, and the forgetting has begun: names, recipes, songs, the faces of the people Margaret Ashworth loves—one by one, the valley is losing itself.To save it, the circle must restart the old protection, the veil that has held the valley hidden for three thousand years. But the veil was never the cure. As the longest night of the year approaches, Margaret learns the hardest truth of all: the fading was never the mist, and never the frost. It was the hiding.And at the far end of the veil, still holding on, is the woman who gave Margaret the key—the last keeper, who never learned to let go. Before the year can turn, Margaret must release her, and open a gate that has been shut for three thousand years.A story of memory, sacrifice, and the courage to be seen, The Winter Veil is the fourth book of The Willowmere Chronicles.
