Seven Wild Sisters

This novel is the first in the "Seven Wild Sisters" series, introducing the Dillard family and the magical world of Newford. While it can be enjoyed as a standalone story, subsequent books continue the adventures of these characters.

Seven Wild Sisters is set in de Lint's long-running Newford universe, but it focuses on a new family and their introduction to the city's hidden magic. Readers familiar with Newford will recognize the setting and some recurring themes, but it serves as an accessible entry point for new readers.

Yes, Charles Vess's illustrations are integral to the book, appearing frequently throughout the text rather than just on the cover. His artwork enhances the storytelling and visualizes key moments and characters within the narrative.
