Two hundred years ago the ancients sundered Terr into five veils, where fea and mortal could live side by side, each unknown to the other. Many fled the war veil in search of peaceful lives. But not all were willing to leave their home. Many remained, and not all with benevolent intentions.

As the number of fea dwindles, the La’tari regime grows strong, raising drakai assassins with a single purpose. End the lives of the feyn and return Terr to mortal control. When Shivaria, at elite assassin of the crown, is given a mission to end the life of the feyn king, she finds herself upon the northern shores, bound to the kings general, sought by the fea in the northern woods and unearthing the hidden truths of her world that will force her to decide between the life she has always known, and treading a path destined by the fates.
