Book Summary
S. Jae-Jones' book “Wintersong” deals with a young woman named Liesl who has spent her youth being fascinated with the idea of a fantasy world and its leader, the Goblin King. He has inspired her musical compositions and filled her dreams. However, as Liesl has matured, her real world obligations are now taking priority over her vivid imagination and creative musical talents. When the mysterious Goblin King kidnaps her sister, Liesl feels compelled to give up her freedom and possibly her life to save someone she loves. As her relationship with the Goblin King progresses from distrust to love, she begins to understand more about herself.
The book’s dust jacket has an intricate gold mask in the shape of a fox’s face appearing on the front. The fox reflects the stealthy nature of the Goblin King, the Lord of Mischief. The complementary colours of gold and purple emphasize the character’s royal title and position. With the lines creating movement, the music notes appear to dance in the background. Liesl has a musical connection with the Goblin King who is known for creating hauntingly beautiful melodies.
