A war is coming. Truths come to light. Sacrifices must be made.

Ivy has always known that the Elven Council holds the fate of both humans and fair folk in their hands, but now their devious agenda threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. Trapped in a realm with an icy princess, deadly amulets, and fresh wounds, the least of Ivy's concerns might be her shattered heart—she may also lose her innate magic. Without a Gathering seed, Ivy won't survive long in either realm.
