Despite the help this will bring to her family, she can’t help but feel the fear of an unknown land. In an attempt to settle in, she trades places with her trusting maid who is more than willing to take on the role, not realizing this may be the most dangerous choice she’s ever made.
Yet as Catalina spends her days tending to the geese in the fields of Whyst, she finds a new sense of peace and belonging. Her companionship with the goose boy, Alion, grows and she realizes she must return to her place alongside the king of Whyst before she falls too deeply.
