Publisher's Synopsis
A foundling child raised by an elderly scribe, Sylvie has always seemed odd to the villagers of Branlier. As she grows into a young woman, new challenges arise to test her mettle. She will discover family she has never known and struggle to learn about her own hidden talents. Influential political forces threaten, as King Nevan and High Priest Mech continue to purge all who follow the old faith of Innis from the cities. The Fae--withdrawn from the human realm for decades--extend their aid, but Sylvie must draw upon her own unexpected power to survive and to ensure the safety of those she loves as they journey across the country in search of allies.
