When Emmaline is banished from the Fae community, all she can do is follow her father’s advice to seek help. But when Emmaline encounters Gnardon soldiers, Fae’s worst enemies, she must choose: trust Simeon, the stranger with the earthen eyes, or try her luck alone. Never having traveled past the ivory walls of her kingdom, Emmaline decides to follow Simeon’s lead, only to find he is far more than she thought. Their journey snakes through a perilous forest, across an angry river patrolled by Trolls, and through a deadly mountain pass. In her quest for help, Emmaline discovers something of beauty along the way. But does Simeon see it, too? And can they reach safety before it’s too late?
