Locked in an eighteen-year rebellion between Fair Folk and humans, the Kingdom of Korith is unrecognizable. Where Fair Folk once roamed ancestral lands, selling fortunes and worshiping the earth, they now control human edifices—most prominently the throne in the high palace of Kasier, where the Prevailing Mother reigns.
Lisi Ne’vander, a powerful halfling from the Forest of Bruss, has watched her parents fall victim to the violence consuming Korith. Struggling to control the magic burning within her, she faces a critical decision: stay hidden within the shrinking neutral forest or fight. But for whom? Memories of a storm-eyed foreign princess haunt Lisi, and she can’t seem to forget the princess’s words: hiding is for the weak.
Val’thorn Borynder is a magickless Fair Folkman, forced to farm to feed the Prevailing Mother’s army. His lack of magic makes him an easy target for bullies, but he still has his mushrooms. Val spends his free time searching the woods for rare fungi until his cousin’s death draws him into the heart of the rebellion and face-to-face with the notorious Viktor Black. Uncertain but desperate to be useful, Val accepts Viktor’s offer to join the fight.
The earth groans for balance, and balance it will have. But will Lisi and Val help restore it, or be crushed in the process?
