Excerpt:

It was a dangerous business being a mouse, and Wylan many times wished he could be any other creature. He thought this most intensely when shadows swooped above him and he had to dive among the tree roots, hoping against hope there were no snakes in the leaf mould around him—or huge, hairy, horrible spiders—or— He shuddered, trying to calm his racing heart with the promising thought of his prize if he could simply make this journey. It made no sense to go back now, not as far as he’d gone. The scent was getting stronger, more intoxicating. He would taste it soon. Just imagine…

Summary:

A folklore-ish tale of love and misadventure, featuring mouse!Wylan and witch!Jesper, along with two familiar friends.
