The "powerful and emotionally charged" fantasy series from the author of
the Sevenwaters novels continues, as Blackthorn and Grim face haunting
secrets and old adversaries.
Feather bright and feather fine, none shall harm this child of mine.
Healer Blackthorn knows all too well the rules of her bond to the fey:
seek no vengeance, help any who ask, do only good. But after the recent
ordeal she and her companion, Grim, have suffered, she knows she cannot
let go of her quest to bring justice to the man who ruined her life.
Despite her personal struggles, Blackthorn agrees to help the princess
of Dalriada in taking care of a troubled young girl who has recently
been brought to court while Grim is sent to the girl's home at Wolf Glen
to aid her wealthy father with a strange task - repairing a broken-down
house deep in the woods. It doesn't take Grim long to realize that
everything in Wolf Glen is not as it seems - the place is full of
perilous secrets and deadly lies.
Back at Winterfalls, the evil touch of Blackthorn's sworn enemy reopens
old wounds and fuels her long-simmering passion for justice. With danger
on two fronts, Blackthorn and Grim are faced with a heartbreaking
choice - to stand once again by each other's side or to fight their
battles alone.
