27 parts Complete MatureRaised among humans in a lantern lit village at the forests edge, Lirael has always felt the pull of the forest. Her ears are just a little too pointed, her eyes glimmer with a faint green light, and when the night wind whistles through the trees, she swears it calls her name. Found as a baby wrapped in gold cloth beneath an ancient oak, she has never known who she is, or where she truly belongs.
When an old charm left from her infancy awakens with a pulse of starlit magic, Lirael sets out to uncover the lost realm of the forest elves, a people thought long vanished.
Her path leads through quaint villages, enchanted glades, and moon drenched valleys, where cozy hearths and soft spoken wonders await. Along the way, she meets a wanderer whose quiet strength draws her heart as surely as the forest draws her spirit.
As she journeys deeper into the heart of magic, Lirael must decide what "home" truly means; blood, roots, or the bonds we choose to grow.
Roots of Starlight is a tender, romantic fantasy filled with forest light and belonging. A tale of gentle courage, ancient magic, and love that blooms like moonlit wildflowers.
