So, most of the book is about Willa’s search for home, community, and family. She escapes from the confines of her dictatorial clan life, but she finds that life without the clan is lonely and purposeless. Faeran believe in the guideline that “there is no I, only we”, but Willa is an individual. Jaetters are thieves who come at night and steal from the day-folk for the benefit of the ruler of Willa’s clan, the paderan. Willa is a young night-spirit jaetter of the Dead Hollow clan of the Faeran, an orphan and a sort of New world fairy? She’s also a woodwitch with the ability to talk to trees and plants and some animals, and she can change skin color like a chameleon and blend so that she can hardly be seen among the flora of the forest.
