SHARON SHINN
The long-awaited new book in the Elemental Blessings series!
Valentina Serlast has reluctantly traveled to the royal city to witness her brother Darien be crowned the king of Welce. A hunti woman with an affinity for the forest, Val is much more comfortable living in isolation on her country estates, almost forgotten by everyone. When Darien convinces her to extend her stay, she is drawn into an unfamiliar whirl of activity, meeting with ambassadors from other countries, becoming friends with the unpredictable Princess Corene, and trying to learn the secrets of a glamorous foreign visitor named Melissande.
But nothing makes Val more breathless than the reappearance of Sebastian Ardelay, a red-headed rogue who has been her best friend since childhood. She quickly learns that Sebastian has been risking his life in a dangerous venture that could get him banned from the kingdom—or even lead Welce to the brink of war.

"Fantasy author Sharon Shinn is known for her brilliant world-building and the layered richness of her characterizations, and she's in top form with her new Elemental Blessings novel, Whispering Wood. This is the long-awaited book of the hunti, the people of wood and bone, who are known for unbreakable strength, but are too often inflexible. Whispering Wood's heroine, Valentina Serlast, is the younger sister of Darien Serlast and is hunti to the bone. Though Val doesn't want to leave her quiet life in a forest, she reluctantly visits the capital for her brother's coronation as king. Forced out of her comfort zone, Val finds new friends, new challenges, and an impossible old love — and learns that even a hunti soul can change.”
