Has Prince Issah given Sterlyn an impossible task?
Sterlyn is working hard to become a Prior and start his new life...a life without his lifetime friend Rillion, who snagged his heart and took it with her when she passed into Everlasting. He has turned his back on his family and his province, determined to start fresh in a new town. One far away from the painful memories that plague his dreams.
Except, before he can earn the title of Priorship, Sterlyn must undergo three challenges that will test his dedication and try his last shred of patience. He is sent into the deepest forest ruled by warring clans of dwarfs, centaurs, and other creatures. All of them are at odds with each other. How will he ever make headway when the only thing the clans hate more than each other is the presence of a human encroaching upon their territory?
Rillion isn't dead but wishes the cruel Magpie family would go ahead and send her to Everlasting. At least she would be reunited with the family that once loved her. What remains of her beloved province, is full of greedy merchants, hateful people, and a step-family that will do anything to gain more power and prestige.
Once Rillion's mind clears from the potion the twin sisters use to keep her under their control, things change. Rillion can finally see clearly what she missed before when her life was comfortable. The despair of her situation wars with the desire to escape and seek help for the defeated province. Is it too late?
When Juniper the okbold shows up, Rillion learns it's never too late to fight back. She has the desire, but will that be enough?
