What threatens kith and kingdom?
Zawn, heir to the Haley family, daydreamer of the Whispering Hornbeam Kith, had resigned herself to being a lowly sentry, thinking she had nothing to offer the world. Until she meets Gwendin, the theurgist assigned to the Kingdom of Mehdehra. Her world of black and white suddenly becomes alive with color.
But a darkness infiltrates the kiths and kingdom alike.
Can Zawn protect herself, her love, and her kith from the darkness that reaches into the very souls of those who would destroy her people? And will an impulsive decision at the most heart wrenching moment be her end or will it save kith and kingdom?
