For Weston, this potential apprenticeship is his last chance to become an alchemist. When a young man, Weston, shows up seeking her mother's apprenticeship as an alchemist, Maggie easily turns him away. Even in a small town, this can be isolating - also because many of the townspeople spurn her for being half Yu'adir. With her brother dead, father gone, and mother frequently on trips for indeterminate amounts of time, Maggie is left to take care of the house by herself. Maggie lives in the house where her family once resided. In A Far Wilder Magic, Allison Saft has written an achingly tender love story set against a deadly hunt in an atmospheric, rich fantasy world that will sweep you away.Ī FAR WILDER MAGIC is an intriguing YA fantasy about family, prejudice, romance, and finding your own path. As the hunt looms closer and tensions rise, Margaret and Wes uncover dark magic that could be the key to winning the hunt―if they survive that long. Although they make an unlikely team, they soon find themselves drawn to each other. She begrudgingly allows him to stay, but on one condition: he must join the hunt with her.

But when Wes arrives at Welty Manor, he finds only Margaret. He's been fired from every apprenticeship he's landed, and his last chance hinges on Master Welty taking him in. While Margaret is the best sharpshooter in town, only teams of two can register, and she needs an alchemist. Whoever is able to kill the hala will earn fame and riches, and unlock an ancient magical secret.

When Margaret Welty spots the legendary hala, the last living mythical creature, she knows the Halfmoon Hunt will soon follow.
