The Poison Season by Mara Rutherford
Some forests don’t simply surround a story, they shape it. The Poison Season draws readers into a landscape where beauty and danger exist side by side, and every step further into the woods reveals something new.
It’s a fantasy built on quiet tension, hidden truths, and the understanding that nature rarely divides itself into good and evil. The deeper the characters travel, the more they discover that the greatest mysteries aren’t always waiting at the end of the path.
Sometimes they’re growing all around them.
