The Woodwife's Song by A.C. Wise (fantasy)
       Aylet's loss of her child before its ever having been born is almost too much for her. The terrible dreams that trouble her are no help: nightmares filled with tree-creatures, their hollowed-out bodies haunting her and the marshes they inhabit both. Despite her friends' attempts to draw her out, she grows more and more introverted, the sketches of the creatures she dreams entering her waking reality. Yet as she begins to understand the monsters in her dreams more, she begins to wonder what exactly she is capable of as well - and to wonder exactly how lost her child might be.
