Sixteen-year-old Beckan and her friends are the only fairies brave
enough to stay in Ferrum when war breaks out. Now there is tension
between the immortal fairies, the subterranean gnomes, and the
mysterious tightropers who arrived to liberate the fairies. But when
Beckan's clan is forced to venture into the gnome underworld to survive,
they find themselves tentatively forming unlikely friendships and making
sacrifices they couldn't have imagined. As danger mounts, Beckan finds
herself caught between her loyalty to her friends, her desire for peace,
and a love she never expected. This stunning, lyrical fantasy is a
powerful exploration of what makes a family, what justifies a war, and
what it means to truly love.
