Mara didn’t know her parents were living a lie.
After learning a secret that causes Mara to question her heritage, she runs to Torindan, the High Hold of Faeraven, to seek the truth. What the innkeeper’s daughter doesn’t know is that Rand, the mysterious tracker she’s hired to guide her through the wilderness, has been sent on an errand that puts her life at risk.
Helping Mara furthers Rand’s purposes, but he doesn’t count on his emotions interfering.
With Faeraven on the brink of war, Rand is faced with a life-altering choice, Mara is torn between escape and learning the truth, and the future hangs in the balance.
Will Mara be heir to the Faeraven throne? Can Rand escape the terrors of the dungeon?
As Torindan and Pilaer prepare for battle, anything can happen.

Excerpt
(The heroine meets a disturbing stranger at the inn where she works and lives. Mam is Mara’s mother. Ardel is the kitchen maid. Brynn is Mara’s aunt.)
Mara felt the Kindren looking at her out of long eyes a strange hue between green and amber, deepened by the dim light in the far corner. He had a look she’d seen before, that of a care-worn sojourner. How far had he come, and what errand thrust him upon the mercies of the road?
The front door opened and the lanthorns suspended from overhead beams swung in the draft that fanned her face. Light flared across the stranger, turning his hair red-gold. She’d taken him for older than he now appeared, but guessing a Kindren’s age wasn’t easy. His kind hardly ever stopped at the inn these days, and she’d forgotten how intriguing she found them.
She dragged her gaze from his, breaking the slender thread that had stretched between them, and turned away in time to see Rohan and Da shut the door to the porch behind them. Her mouth went dry. Rohan had wasted no time.
She didn’t have to look to know that the Kindren still watched her as she pushed through the swinging doors into the kitchen.
“What troubles you?” Mam asked, making her jump. “You be pale as a specter.”
“T’is but a passing mood.” Mara gave Ardel the empty tray to load with more venison pies.
Brynn paused while forming dough at the work table. “Mayhap one of the Fieann whispers enchantments in your ear.”
Mara could almost believe it. Had the Kindren traveler snared her with magics? Even now she felt a strange pull to return to him.
