Publisher Description
The thrilling second novel of an all-new fantasy series from the legendary author behind the Shannara saga, about a human girl adapting to her place in a magical world she’s only recently discovered
It’s been two years since Auris escaped from the sinister Goblin prison and learned of her heritage as one of the Fae. She is now happily partnered with her Fae lover, Harrow, and deeply bonded with her new family. All seems to be going perfectly—until, surprisingly, the Goblin attacks begin again. Someone, it seems, has not forgotten that Auris exists and seems determined to retrieve her . . . but who? And why?
As Auris begins to dig deeper into the mystery, old friends and new enemies appear, and she starts to realize that her still-shrouded past must contain the answers she needs. But even Auris does not suspect how far down the rabbit hole she is about to go, until Harrow is taken and an impossible ransom demand is issued. With two new companions at her side, Auris must attempt to unlock the remaining secrets of her past. For if she cannot, she will never see Harrow alive again.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Brooks returns with this spellbinding sequel to Child of Light, beginning with a goblin attack that disrupts the peaceful life that Sylvan fae Auris Afton Grieg has made with her newfound family in Viridian Deep. The goblins kidnap Auris's sister to bait her into their territory—and they succeed, as Auris sets out on a daring rescue mission. As she struggles to make sense of what the goblins want with her, however, a new enemy arises. A shape-shifting creature named Tonklot steals the soul of Auris's love, Harrow, leaving him an empty shell. To restore him, Auris must bring Tonklot a dragon by the next full moon. Auris's desperate attempt to save Harrow propels her on yet another dangerous quest, taking her from the outskirts of Viridian Deep to the mythical dragon's lair, the industrialized human lands, and beyond. Brooks weaves a fast-paced tale full of twists and turns while keeping the backstory clear and the worldbuilding concise enough that those new to Auris's story will have just as much fun as returning readers. This is sure to delight Brooks's fans.
