Mallada Eloja Malbith is a different sort of person, with an odd sort of name, who has always been estranged from her family and neighbors. Her mother is nearly insane; her father and sister are indifferent; and her brother is heartlessly cruel. As a result, she develops a love for the nearby forest, which is filled with all sorts of fantastic creatures that only she can see. One day she’s called through the mouth of an oak tree by Tuesday the nymph: a young woman who seems to dislike Mally at first, but who grows to love her over the course of their adventures. She is ushered down a steep flight of steps into Banbanoxé, a marvelous land filled with the very creatures she has come to befriend. But the land has long been held in shadow by Bringol the Black Bear, and no one, including King Grinbo the Grey Wolf, has been able to overthrow him. When it comes to light that Bringol is working alongside the evil witch Adonaia, it seems that all hope for Banbanoxé is lost. That is, until Mally learns a long-kept secret which changes everything she has ever known about herself – and which makes all the land wonder, if perhaps she is the one who will finally save them.
