Description
The enchanting debut is now available as an Audiobook!
With refreshing echoes of golden age fantasy, Fog & Fireflies is a novel that brings together an imaginative world and fantastical cast of characters to explore the difference between growing older and growing up.
"Why do we grow more scared as we get older?"
Hundreds of seasons ago, a wizard's war scarred the earth, leaving a malevolent fog blanketing the land, and carrying the settlements within it like ships adrift at sea. The phantoms the fog creates are deadly to adults, so children must guard the walls now, and care for each other.
Ogma watches the fog from the walls of her windmill town. What felt like a game as a child becomes more of a creeping dread with each season she gets older.
"Because we know better."
Ogma's town is attacked—caravaners who roam the fog in inhuman forms have come to kidnap the children, and Ogma is lost in the fog. She must find hope, find courage in herself, and find her friends.
A novel for readers who enjoy rich worldbuilding in the style of Hayao Miyazaki, a unique cast of creatures and characters that harkens back to L. Frank Baum and Arthur Rackham, and the bonds of found family akin to the work of Maggie Stiefvater and Makoto Shinkai.

Advance Praise
★★★★★
“Make no mistake, this is a great and triumphant tale.
Dark and soulful; haunting and hopeful. Epic world
building, beautiful prose, and the uncertainty of what
moves and screams beyond walls of protection. It's the
kind of book and author that makes a darning, masterful,
and compelling bid for literary greatness!”
— SEATTLE BOOK REVIEW
★★★★
“I recommend it to everyone who likes Studio Ghibli
movies, and reading about found family, hope, and a
compelling female hero.”
— LIANNE BROUWER
★★★★★
“Dark atmosphere with Pan's Labyrinth vibes. […] The
description is right: there is a noticeable similarity with
the art of Hayao Miyazaki.”
— FÉLSZIPÓKÁS ŐSMOLY
★★★★★
“I loved this book from the !rst page, and I won't be
surprised if it is one of my favorite books of the year. It
de!nitely lives up to all that it claims to be while also
managing to surprise and delight in ways I was not
expecting.”
— CAROLINE MCCLURE, LIBRARIAN
★★★★★
“I am almost at a loss on how to describe how wonderful
this book was. Reading it made me feel like I fell through a
wardrobe and was exploring something new and
completely undiscovered.”
— DIANE TAIT
★★★★★
“Master storyteller T.H. Lehnen’s debut novel […] Fog &
Fire!ies is a truly unique and enjoyable piece of fantasy
"ction.”
— SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEW
★★★★★
“Lehnen takes world-building to a new level […] The
world of Lehnen’s creation is a dark, brooding character
that taunts, invades, and can abduct the adults of the
villages. The settings and environment are an essential
character in the story.”
— PORTLAND BOOK REVIEW
★★★★★
“The novel over!ows with creativity and o#ers some of
the most unique world-building you'll "nd in a genre that
can feel like everything has already been done. Lehnen is
a masterful storyteller, and his realm of fear and "re!ies
practically glitters on the page.”
