"Embark on a mesmerizing journey through the enigmatic Darkburnt Forests in the first instalment of ""The Mysteries of the Darkburnt Forests"" series— ""Croana of Arnithor."" In this captivating tale, the sprawling expanse of the Darkburnt Forests range holds secrets within its twelve forests, and one among them, Arnithor, becomes the epicentre of an unfolding saga. Croana, a courageous raven from Arnithor, sets forth on a quest to find her missing friend, Joey, a woodpecker known for his pure and giving soul. As Croana ventures across the Darkburnt forest range, she encounters a myriad of creatures—some offering clues, others, like the revolutionary Marxtroes, joining her on her quest. Meanwhile, Arnithor is guarded by Claw, an imposing eagle, and Jolly, a cunning fox, as Wiltherine, a wolf with a tainted lineage, secretly plotting to reclaim the throne, collaborating with the orphaned wolves of Cyannan. Amidst the shadows, Croana trying to spread Joey’s word finds herself engulfed in a war, striving to mediate peace. The stage is set for a riveting tale of courage, betrayal, and the enduring quest for harmony, where alliances are tested, secrets are unveiled, and the fate of the Darkburnt Forests hangs in the balance. Will Croana's quest unveil the mysteries shrouded in the ancient woodlands, or will the looming war cast a dark shadow over Arnithor's destiny? What happened to Joey? Will Croana succeed in returning to Arnithor? Will Marerion's humiliation fuel a vengeful plot, and will she succeed? ""Croana of Arnithor"" beckons readers into a world where questions abound, and the answers lie within the heart of the Darkburnt Forests.”

Book Description
Named a Best Book of Fall 2022 by Parade • BuzzFeed • New York Post • GMA.com • People "Loigman's latest is a gem. A scrappy Jewish teenager newly arrived in 1920s New York struggles to follow her calling as a matchmaker––seventy years later, her cynical divorce-attorney granddaughter realizes she has very inconveniently inherited the family gift for matching soulmates. Both funny and moving, The Matchmaker's Gift made me smile from start to finish." ––Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code Is finding true love a calling or a curse? Even as a child in 1910, Sara Glikman knows her gift: she is a maker of matches and a seeker of soulmates. But among the pushcart-crowded streets of New York’s Lower East Side, Sara’s vocation is dominated by devout older men—men who see a talented female matchmaker as a dangerous threat to their traditions and livelihood. After making matches in secret for more than a decade, Sara must fight to take her rightful place among her peers, and to demand the recognition she deserves. Two generations later, Sara’s granddaughter, Abby, is a successful Manhattan divorce attorney, representing the city’s wealthiest clients. When her beloved Grandma Sara dies, Abby inherits her collection of handwritten journals recording the details of Sara’s matches. But among the faded volumes, Abby finds more questions than answers. Why did Abby’s grandmother leave this library to her and what did she hope Abby would discover within its pages? Why does the work Abby once found so compelling suddenly feel inconsequential and flawed? Is Abby willing to sacrifice the career she’s worked so hard for in order to keep her grandmother’s mysterious promise to a stranger? And is there really such a thing as love at first sight?
