But the road is darker and more dangerous than she knows, and as secrets from the past are uncovered amid the teeth and roots of the forest, it’s going to take everything she has just to survive. It’s up to her to find the legendary Lady of the Wilds and beg for a way to save her home. Cerys is forced on the run, her only companions the small fox from the garden, a strange and powerful bear, and the magic in her veins. The most danger she faces now, as a gardener’s daughter, is the annoying fox who stalks the royal gardens and won’t leave her alone.Īs a new queen is crowned, however, things long hidden in the woods descend on the kingdom itself. Now Cerys carries a small bit of the curse-the magic-in her blood, a reminder of the day she lost everything. Cerys knows this all too well: when she was young, she barely escaped as the woods killed her friends and her mother. But as Aloriya prospered, the woods grew dark, cursed, and forbidden.
It has been this way for hundreds of years, since the first king made a bargain with the Lady who ruled the forest that borders the kingdom.
