Brindille

A frail young girl flees a roaring forest fire in the middle of the night

desperately taking refuge in a cave where she quickly loses consciousness. She

wakes up in a strange, tiny village populated by fairy-like creatures. Her hosts

seem intrigued by the sparkles of light that seem to surround her. The village

chieftain explains that one of their hunters found her passed out in the forest

and brought her back here for treatment. He asks who she is, but she remembers

nothing except for a wall and flames. The chief is baffled by her tale as there

has not been any fire in the forest lately, and yet the young woman does indeed

show signs of burns. Somewhat recovered and dressed in woodland clothes made by

the villagers, the young lady asks to meet the hunter who found her in the

forest. She asks her savior to take her to where he found her, hoping that

seeing the place will restore her memory. But Meliss refuses -- the rules of the

village say that only hunters can enter the forest, and all of the sparkles

surrounding the girl would catch the eyes of predators living in these woods...

What follows is a tale of discovery, magic, tragedy, and adventure, as

the girl discovers powers that may or may not be borne of an ancient evil. She

befriends a cunning, talking wolf along the way, and together the two set out on

a journey that will not soon be easily forgotten.
A beautifully illustrated,

magical fairy tale sure to appeal to young teens and up, created by the
