Jessica Townsend, the brilliant mind behind the beloved *Nevermoor* series, recently shared a special memory – the moment she realized she'd become a *New York Times* bestselling author! It was 2017, fresh off the release of *Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow*, while she was in Los Angeles as part of her US book tour.

The book explores themes of truth, deception, and the importance of belonging, all wrapped up in a wonderfully imaginative setting. Townsend's prose is as captivating as ever, painting vivid pictures of Nevermoor and its inhabitants. Fans of the series will appreciate the familiar touches – the quirky Hotel Deucalion, the eccentric Jupiter North – while newcomers will find themselves instantly drawn into this enchanting world.

Townsend's journey to becoming a bestselling author is inspiring, and *Silverborn* is a testament to her talent and dedication. It's a must-read for fans of fantasy, mystery, and anyone looking for a captivating escape. Get ready to lose yourself in the magic of Nevermoor once again!
