In a world full of magic and fae, Fia is a changeling destined to help bring back the princess she replaced. Rogan has been her only friend since childhood, and although he's intended for Eala, he's only ever loved Fia.
As they spend time together, it becomes such an emotional ride, and we combine that with the natural mischief of the fae for a dark and twisty adventure. Fia and Rogan work to figure out how to break the curse keeping Eala and the other 11 girls trapped in faerie. Irian, their keeper, who is in charge of the Sky-Sword, and the power of the realm is fae through and through, answering her questions with stories that are loosely applied to what she's asked.
As she goes back and forth between Irian, Eala, and Rogan, their stories don't match up, information is taken at face value, and the rules of the fae are at play in more ways that Fia could ever know. Her connection to the earth and her magic is stronger here, but as for everything else? Details about the curse, the nature of Eala herself, and what she truly wants from Rogan are all conflicted depending on who they've come from. Especially anything about Irian's nature.
Fia is conflicted and running out of time to make decisions that will not only affect her, but both the human and fae worlds. Conflicted between the love she thought she knew and the love she can only hope she can figure out how to experience. I could not put this down. This was a wonderfully dark and twisty story about love, loyalty, and hope.
