Publisher's Summary
Jack once saved August's life...now can August save him?
August is a misfit with a pyro streak, and Jack is a golden boy on the varsity rugby team - but their intense friendship goes way back. Jack begins to see increasingly vivid hallucinations that take the form of an elaborate fantasy kingdom creeping into the edges of the real world. With their parents' unreliable behavior, August decides to help Jack the way he always has - on his own. He accepts the visions as reality, even when Jack leads them on a quest to fulfill a dark prophecy.
August and Jack alienate everyone around them as they struggle with their sanity, free falling into the surreal fantasy world that feels made for them. In the end, each one must choose his own truth.
Crafted in vivid micro-fiction with a stream-of-consciousness feel and multimedia elements, K. Ancrum's The Wicker King touches on themes of mental health and explores a codependent relationship fraught with tension, madness, and love.

All around amazing
This story flowed seamlessly. It was beautiful and simply written, the narration added to the tone and mood, and the characters were interesting and dynamic. I don’t normally enjoy reading high school characters, but the ones in this novel were complex and tortured and they reacted so appropriately to the events unfolding. I finished this novel in one sitting and would recommend it to anyone.
