The Prophecy was wrong. There is no Chosen One. Coming of age under the weight of an epic destiny wasn't easy. All Aewyn ever wanted for herself was a home and a family. But to the farmers of Widowvale, she was always destined for greatness. As a fae-blooded foundling of mysterious birth, her story was the stuff of fairy-tales.

When a primordial darkness stirs in the deep wood, and Aewyn's dubious old mentor is sentenced to hang for treason, the supposed Chosen One must live or die by a choice of her own: Will she forsake her home and her new family for the dubious destiny she's been promised—or sacrifice it all for one chance to save them? Discover a captivating new world of adventure with rich worldbuilding and a diverse ensemble cast. Read it today!
