A Creature of Moonlight by Rebecca Hahn
“The girls who escape into the forbidden woods do it for one
reason: freedom. But Marni has never heeded the voices that call to her from
among the trees, the ones that lured her mother away so many years ago. Marni is
the rightful heir to the throne, though she lives in exile, growing flowers for
the court. While it isn't the life of a princess, at least she's been
safe—until now. Marni is not a little girl anymore. People are starting to
notice her, and the voices in the woods have grown too loud to ignore. When the
trees themselves begin to move in on the kingdom, Marni knows she must make a
choice. She could claim her birthright as princess of a realm whose ruthless
king wants her dead. Or she could make a life with the father she has never
known: the wild dragon who is sending his magical woods to capture her.” –Jacket
