Read an Excerpt From Thistlemarsh by Moorea Corrigan

An excerpt from *Thistlemarsh* by Moorea Corrigan shares the story of Mouse Dunne, who once dreamed of becoming a Faerie anthropologist. Mouse receives news that her uncle has left her Thistlemarsh Hall, a manor in the English countryside. There is a catch: if Mouse does not rehabilitate the house in one month’s time, she will forfeit her inheritance. A Faerie appears with a proposition to restore Thistlemarsh for a price. Mouse knows better than to trust a Faerie, but she is out of options. Mouse must confront the ghosts of her past or lose Thistlemarsh in the process.

• Faeries disappeared over one hundred years ago, as suddenly as slipping through a doorway…
• When Mouse receives news that her uncle has left her the Faerie-blessed Thistlemarsh Hall, a dilapidated manor in the English countryside, she must leave her brother’s side and return to her childhood home to claim her birthright.
• There are dark and magical forces at work in the house, and Mouse must confront the ghosts of her past and the secrets of her heart or lose Thistlemarsh, and herself, in the process.
