Sprawled across the winding bell tower stairs of the village church, with unseeing eyes that glow orange in the breaking dawn light, lies the corpse of mysterious stranger - and standing a few steps below, looking up at the body, is 11-year-old Annabelle Knopp.
A few days later, as she and the other villagers watch the stranger's body being lowered into his grave, Annabelle assumes it is the last she will ever see of him.
She is wrong.
The dead man on the church steps was only the first unexpected event to strike the quiet village on the hill to the North. Soon after, an odd little man who can turn into birds appears in the Wood, a menacing shadow stalks the Wild, and villagers begin to disappear from their beds.
When her parents go missing, Annabelle enlists the help of her friend Turo on a dangerous journey to save them. Accompanied by a magical bird who ferries the dead to the Underworld, the soul of a mage with a haunted past, and a woman who can hear the voices beneath the Sea, they venture into a world of magic that they never knew existed - and they learn there is more truth to their mothers' old bedtime stories than they ever could have imagined.
"To the North" is the story of a fearless and curious child on the brink of growing up, who is learning that the world is so much bigger than she ever dreamed. A richly detailed and original fantasy, it is a story that lingers long after the final page has turned; a story of love, family, and the magic that lies within us all.
**********
"To the North" is the first installment in "The Villages" anthology. Inspired by legends and mythologies across northern Europe, the books take you to four small, isolated villages, where people live quiet lives and are largely unconcerned with the happenings of the World Beyond.
Little do the villagers know that the worlds of magic surround them on all sides, and that the inhabitants of these worlds - monsters and mages, shadows and spirits, goblins and gods - have a tendency to fall through the gaps.
The second book in the anthology, "To the East", is also currently available on , Unlimited, and in paperback.

What a truly wonderful, old-time fairytale! The story and the characters will grab your heart. It's a tale of good and evil, but the good is such a delight and so heartwarming. There is some sadness mixed in too, but what would a great story be without a touch of sadness for perspective. Loved it...can't wait to read the next book. Thank you, K.H.Product details

To the North The Villages Book 1 eBook KH Leigh Reviews
To the North is a wonderful mix of folklore, mystery, and fantasy brought together by a very talented author. K.H. Leigh's work reads like a fairytale that has been around for centuries but is surprisingly fresh all at once. Leigh's work presents a rich storyline that does not contain any inconsistencies and wraps up the story beautifully. The layout of her book is just as beautiful as the writing itself with short chapters and beautiful folk designs throughout, and I couldn't help but tear through this book. At no point during the novel did the story lag or become dull, and it held my attention beautifully.
To the North centeres on the main character of Annabelle who ends up having to fight a darkness and what lingers in the Woods to save her family and those that she loves. This element of darkness adds a bit of suspense and horror to the story, while also bringing forth a powerful heroine that will stop at nothing to protect those that she loves.
Leigh's poetic writing style brings her characters and setting to life, and by the end of the novel, I found myself missing the life that To the North brought, and I had a hard time reminding myself that the story was indeed only fiction.
If you are looking for a well developed suspenseful fantasy, To the North succeeds on so many levels. My only critique is that some of the sentences were run on, but it didn't take too much away from the story.
I very much enjoy original stories and this one was original and charming. I only 5 star books like the Wheel of Time, Lord or the Rings and Game of Thrones. That being said I wish the ending were different. This is a good book for young fantasy readers!
K.H. Leigh has woven a wonderful, intriguing tale. Can't wait for the next volume!
LOVED this book so much. leigh's writing style and the intriguing story line kept me reading well into the night. can't wait to read more of her work.
Amazing and wonderful doesn't come close to adequately describing the world K.H. Leigh has created here.
I cannot wait for the next volume.
Thoroughly impressed with this book! The writing is so creative and you'll find it very hard to put down once you start. Very much looking forward to her next book, To the East.
I enjoyed this book a lot. The story is imaginative and engaging, but what I loved the most was the style and really elegant writing. Descriptions were vivid, and there was some insightful philosophy along the way. It was just a pleasure front to back. A fairly quick read, and I would recommend it to anyone of any age who enjoys a good story.
What a truly wonderful, old-time fairytale! The story and the characters will grab your heart. It's a tale of good and evil, but the good is such a delight and so heartwarming. There is some sadness mixed in too, but what would a great story be without a touch of sadness for perspective. Loved it...can't wait to read the next book. Thank you, K.H.
