When tragedy strikes her household and her book of spells is stolen, Little Moon is spirited away to the strange, shimmering world of The Fault.

A fantastical tale crafted as supple and strong as spider silk, Candice Purwin's graphic novel weaves together powerful themes of grief, friendship and identity. The Book of Murmurs takes you on a journey through what it is to be lost, and what it means to be found.
