Wildhearts

Wren Ashvale is fifteen, late for school, behind on maths, and fairly sure her reflection just smiled at her.

She has always been too much. Too loud, too angry, too emotional, too red-haired, too hard to explain. But when the cracks in Wren's life start becoming literal, mirrors stop behaving, corridors open where they should not, and the whole city begins to feel her fear, Wren discovers the truth: she is Wildborn.

Her emotions do not just hurt.

They answer.

Beneath Hull lies the Veil, a hidden world of memory, grief, monsters, and old magic. Wren's power can touch all of it, which makes her rare, dangerous, and wanted by people who think control is the same thing as safety.

With her brilliant best friend Nora, chaotic loyal Kai, sharp-edged Evelyn, and little sister Poppy pulled into the danger with her, Wren must learn what her magic really is before something ancient wakes beneath the docks.

Because the city is remembering.

And Wren might be the girl who cracks it open.

WildHearts: The Girl Who Cracked is a contemporary YA fantasy about friendship, fear, first power, and the dangerous magic of feeling everything too deeply.
