THE ANTLERS WITCH SAGA

The Ones Who Couldn't Let Go

Blackpines: The Antlers Witch: The Ones Who Couldn’t Let Go (#1)

Three years ago, Lucía disappeared without a trace. Three years ago, Maya packed her bags and went out into the night, determined to find her.

Harper, on the other hand, has never left his hometown of Blackpines, New Jersey. Life is lonely, but he tells himself he's fine with that—until he looks out the window one night and sees Maya standing on the lawn. Her reappearance heralds trouble, and it soon becomes clear that Lucía isn't the only one missing. What do the disappearances have to do with the mysterious figure known as the Antlers Witch? And why is the man who destroyed Harper's family back in town—and on the same hunt through the thick New Jersey pines?

The Ones Who Couldn't Let Go is the first book in a saga about queer family, coming-of-age, wolves, witch gods, and the quest to be okay.

BLACKPINES

Mist rising between the wet, black bark of the pines;

Neon lights flooding lonely gas stations;

Chipping graffiti on the corner of a dive bar;

Skeletons of old bridges echoing with babies' cries;

Spectral headlights shuddering in the roadside grass;

Bales of rotting hay sinking into silent, yellowing pastures;

The tattered label of a beer bottle tangled in the wild rye;

Highway signs screaming self-improvement in black numbers and flat smiles;

The gaze of a hundred seagulls watching the storm rolling in.

Addison Lane is a writer of queer modern fantasy. She lives in New Jersey with her wife and two cats.
