On cover: She fled the marsh to save herself. Now she must return to save the wild.
Summary: When the child walks out of the marsh, the villagers are wary. She is odd - half-wild, with an unnatural bond to the falcon, who is always circling above her. Only the Wise Woman is kind to her, taking her in and naming her Rhodd. Over the years, the deadly marshland grows and grows, and brings with it a fatal sickness to the village. To save the creatures and the people she loves, Rhodd must return to the dark place she once fled and find out what has really happened to the wild.
