Botanica is an island, but almost all of the island is taken up by the Tree.<\/p>\n

Little knowing how they came to be here, small communities live around the coast line. The Tree provides them shelter, kindling, medicine \u2013 and a place of legends, for there are ghosts within the trees who snatch children and the dying.<\/p>\n

Lillah has come of age and is now ready to leave her community and walk the tree for five years, learning all Botanica has to teach her. Before setting off, Lillah is asked by the dying mother of a young boy to take him with her. In a country where a plague killed half the population, Morace will otherwise be killed in case he has the same disease. But can Lillah keep the boy\u2019s secret, or will she have to resort to breaking the oldest taboo on Botanica?<\/p>\n

Another astonishingly imaginative novel from the acclaimed author of Slights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I’d never heard of Walking the Tree<\/strong> (or Kaaron Warren, for that matter), before stumbling across it on the Angry Robot Books<\/a> website, but damn if that cover didn’t grab my attention right away.<\/p>\n

With artwork by Greg Bridges<\/a>, this cover just bleeds with magical atmosphere. This is a great example of how good art let’s a cover speak for itself. It’s also exactly the type of cover I’d love to have on my novel, Through Bended Grass<\/strong>, if I’m ever lucky enough to see it on bookstore shelves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
