On the continent of Riveriene, daughter of the Duke of Whitewall, Aurelia Silver just wants a choice in her future. One that has been promised to the Duke of Montaneave, Atlas Ciresi, in a betrothal to unite the two territories, but before she is to depart to the northern mountain land, she is abducted from her home by a man of shadows. One who takes her through the land of the fae, gives her the things she always wanted for herself, and lets her decide what her future will be. But the world isn’t what Aurelia thought it was, and on her journey, she discovers that the monsters who hide in the woods rival those in plain sight, the worst of which is the one they call the Crow, a mage of Avalon, and Atlas’s head advisor.
