Return to the Hedge Paperback – March 12, 2026

She enters the Hedge as she is. She returns as who she never imagined.Twenty years ago, LuLu, Olivia’s mother, stepped into the Hedge, and her entire life flipped. Now it’s Olivia’s turn, whether she’s ready or not.Sixteen-year-old Olivia has never even heard of the Hedge, never guessed her family’s history was tangled through it like roots in ancient soil. But the moment she crosses a shimmering doorway, she’s thrown into a world that’s wild, magical, and very much alive.At her side is Cael of Windroot, a quiet, mysterious boy whose magic listens before it speaks, and Brillith, a fierce little hummingbird with more wisdom than most humans. Together, they lead Olivia deeper into the Hedge, where nothing is simple, and every guide has a lesson she didn’t ask for…Maestro Sonaris with his blinding insight, Eldrinor with her calm older-than-time, Jesterfox the trickster who pushes every button, the twin forces of Posira and Duskra, and a living book that seems to know her secrets before she does.Each encounter forces Olivia to face the things she’s avoided—owning her mistakes, choosing humor that heals instead of hurts, learning when to stand alone and when to lean in, and discovering the quiet power she’s carried all along.Glowing with magic, danger, and deep self-discovery, Return to the Hedge pulls readers into a world where every step tests you, every guide changes you, and every choice shapes the person you’re becoming.
