"An utterly transportive read, unfolding into a world of crumbling manors and ancient forests. Allison Saft crafts a deliberate, intricate romance that will have you as unmoored as the characters."
Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights

A romantic YA fantasy perfect for fans of Erin A. Craig and Margaret Rogerson, about two people who find themselves competing for gloryand each other's heartsin a magical fox hunt.

When Margaret Welty spots the legendary hala, the last living mythical creature, she knows the Halfmoon Hunt will soon follow. Whoever is able to kill the hala will earn fame and riches, and unlock an ancient magical secret. While Margaret is the best sharpshooter in town, only teams of two can register, and she needs an alchemist.

Weston Winters isn’t an alchemist—yet. He's been fired from every apprenticeship he's landed, and his last chance hinges on Master Welty taking him in. But when Wes arrives at Welty Manor, he finds only Margaret. She begrudgingly allows him to stay, but on one condition: he must join the hunt with her.

Although they make an unlikely team, they soon find themselves drawn to each other. As the hunt looms closer and tensions rise, Margaret and Wes uncover dark magic that could be the key to winning the hunt—if they survive that long.

In A Far Wilder Magic, Allison Saft has written an achingly tender love story set against a deadly hunt in an atmospheric, rich fantasy world that will sweep you away.

"Innovative, romantic, and intoxicating. A Far Wilder Magic is a diamond of the YA fantasy genre, with a fresh and artfully layered world and extraordinary characters to match."Amanda Foody, author of Ace of Shades

I don't know. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this. Maybe I'm just not into YA at the moment. Maybe it's Maybelline. I am a slut for pretty covers and this book cover sunk its teeth into my skin and pulled me in the darkest depths. The premise had me in a choke-hold that left me craving for water just like when Spongebob went to Sandy's house for the very first time. Margaret Welty is on her own, yearning for the day her mother comes back. When she spots the hala, a mythical creature and the last of its kind, she is determined to join the hunt in hopes of killing the creature. The reward is riches and fame with the ability to unlock a magical secret, but Margaret just wants her mother to come home. And she hopes that this will be her ticket to make that finally happen. And while she's the best sharpshooter in town, Margaret can only join the hunt if she has a team member. An alchemist. Enter Weston Winters-not yet an alchemist, but he's trying. After failing at every other apprenticeship ever given to him, Weston resorts to taking his chances with Master Welty (Margaret's mother). Margaret turns him away at first, but decides to let him stay on one occasion: he joins the hunt with her. I actually don't know why I didn't enjoy this as much. Part of it was because of the dual POV with no indication. The book is in third person, so at least there wasn't the confusing "I"'s while trying to figure out who "I" is. I feel that I would have enjoyed the book a lot better if it was 1) from a specific perspective and 2) shorter.
