Can hope be found in even the darkest of places?

Orla has just become a hances, a healer dedicated to preserving life. But for all the new skills she's learning, she still can't find what she wants most: a cure for her dying grandmother. When a mysterious woman comes to her village and offers to teach her magic, Orla accepts--even though doing so is against the law.

Piran has settled into the quiet life of a librarian's apprentice by day and a spy by night. Given the task of finding a rumored magic-wielder near his village, he stumbles across a cottage in the woods, where he finds the beginnings of a dark and dangerous plot--one that centers on his best friend, Orla.

As darkness grows and right and wrong are twisted together, can Orla find the hope she's desperate for? Or will her efforts to fix things only break them beyond repair?
