This is the second book I've read by Chris Tomasini and it's even better than the first. I love fables set in our world and he excels at this. This is the first book of a trilogy. The setting is Douro, in the province of Ontario, Canada, and spans two time periods, one during during WWI and the other in 2017. There are five sisters with magical powers: Agata, Katryn, Eva, Dorota and Magda. During WWI, Agata was using her magic to help the war effort, and went into a coma. She was moved to Douro, Canada for her safety while they waited for her to waken. Her young sisters didn't know about the coma. They had found the compound she was kept in, intending to rescue her, but were unable to remove her. Years went by, and Jeremy Gardela, a descendent of one of the sisters, lives in Douro, and is drawn to the woods around Douro. There are legends about the wolves, and mysterious moon stones in the woods can supposedly be used to find a missing treasure. Jeremy has another gift - he can hear whispers in the dark, from people long dead. I'm looking forward to the next book.
