Their ancestors have an awful lot to pay for, and Wren and Derek are the only ones left to settle old debts. And they’re about to discover that miracles aren’t free. Only, there’s much they don’t know about their hometown and its celebrated miracle crops. They haven’t spoken in months, but Wren and Derek still have one thing in common: Hollow’s End means everything to them. It began by consuming the crops, thick silver sludge bleeding from the earth. Now the only one she can turn to is her ex, Derek, the last person she wants to call. Wren is among the last locals standing, and the blight has finally come for her, too. Infected livestock and wild creatures staggered off into the woods by day-only to return at night, their eyes fogged white, leering from the trees. It began by consuming the crops, thick silver sludge bleeding from the earth. That’s when the Quicksilver blight first surfaced, poisoning the farms of Hollow’s End one by one.

Tourists travel miles to marvel at its miracle crops, including the shimmering, iridescent wheat of Wren’s family’s farm. Eerie and beautiful, What We Harvest is a novel that will sink into your roots before it devours you whole. Wren owes everything she has to her hometown, Hollow’s End, a centuries-old, picture-perfect slice of America. For fans of Wilder Girls comes a nightmarish debut guaranteed to keep you up through the night, about an idyllic small town poisoned by its past, and one girl who must fight the strange disease that's slowly claiming everyone she loves.
