There are terrors that would make a god weep with fear. Some things are best left unknown.
Haunted by memory, hunted by a traitor, and lost in a wilderness, Isiilde totters on the edge of darkness. Battered and broken, she steps from certain death to uncertain doom, and finds herself in a wilderness battling for survival. But the monster-filled shadows are the least of her worries-the faerie defied her nature for freedom's sake, and now the Fate of the realm rests on her shoulders.
Isiilde must learn to control her fire before the realm is consumed by shadow. But first, she needs to decide if it's worth saving.
A character-driven high fantasy novel with coming-of-age themes, pyromaniac faerie, and friends-to-lovers tropes.
