The Dollmakers

<p><strong>In this dark and enchanting stand-alone fantasy from debut author Lynn Buchanan--complete with black and white illustrations and a full-wrap illustrated cover--discover a world centered around destructive, all-consuming monsters; the magical dolls designed to fight this force; and the artisans tasked with creating demon-slaying dolls. A touch cozy fantasy and a touch horror, <em>The Dollmakers</em> is perfect for fans of Studio Ghibli films, the works of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree, and readers of <em>Juniper & Thorn</em> and <em>The Goblin Emperor</em>.</strong></p><p>In the country called One, dollmakers are vital members of the community. An artisan’s doll is the height of society’s accomplishments, while a guard’s doll is the only thing standing between the people of One and the Shod: vicious, cobbled monstrosities that will tear apart any structure—living or dead, inanimate or otherwise—to add to their horde.</p><p>Apprentice Shean of P
