Ancestral secrets revealed. A discovery of profound magical gifts. A perilous journey toward her true destiny.
Sixteen-year-old Mirra, a lowly pig farmer’s daughter, fears her destiny is bound up in becoming Lord Gregory’s bride. Everything about her world shifts after a prophetic vision of a dragon egg discovered in the distant realm of Kandalar, home to the Highland Elves.
During a desperate visit to the apothecary, in search of a cure for her sick father, Mirra gets more than she bargains for. After learning a dangerous truth about her ancestry, she finds out an elf from Kandalar has risked his life, trespassing across the Kingdom of Tarvos, to look for her, and she begins to question her true destiny.
Upon returning home, Mirra finds her father on his deathbed, refusing her elixir and begging her to seek the protection of a marriage to Lord Gregory in his wake. With his final words, her father confirms she’s a druid like her dead mother and capable of powerful magic—a death sentence in her kingdom if the truth were to be discovered.
Alone in the world, lacking money or the means to gain her freedom, Mirra must make a fateful choice. Will she become the master of her destiny? Or will it master her?
