Hydra House Books is proud to announce the release of Song from Afar, the sixth and final book of Danika Dinsmore's Faerie Tales from the White Forest series!

In this final installment, Brigitta, Jarlath, Minq, and the rest of their friends must race to the White Forest to find Narine's Fire energy, which is safely hidden within Gola's moonstone. Using all four of Narine's energies, they can rescue the Qeal and stop Croilus from overpowering the Eternal Dragon and leaving the world in permanent chaos. But this is near impossible, because Gola is missing, the White Forest is under an impenetrable spell, and all the knowledge in the world will be available to Croilus once the Qeal hatches. Brigitta and her friends have only one shot to save everything and everyone. Will their elaborate plan work?

Copies available through most online book retailers or through the Hydra House Books website.
