A sickly Southern girl is thrust into a magical land of royals, wizards, shapeshifters, and danger in this fantasy adventure series debut.
Raine Stewart is convinced she'll die young and alone in Alabama, the victim of a chronic, mysterious illness. Even when a man in a cloak steps out of her mirror and demands her help fighting a bloodthirsty wizard, Raine shrugs it off as a hallucination - just one more insult from her failing body. Only when the handsome stranger kidnaps her does Raine realize she's just stepped into a world of utmost danger - and urgent purpose.
Ruled by unpredictable gods and unstable nations, Tandara is a land of shapeshifters and weather-workers, queens and legends. Monsters and bounty hunters patrol the mountains, riverboats are pulled by sea-cattle . . . and nightmarish creatures stalk Raine in pursuit of her blood.
But Raine isn't helpless - or alone. She's part of a band as resourceful as it is odd: a mage-shy warrior, a tattered wizard, a tenderhearted giant, and a prickly troll sorceress. Her new friends swear she has powers of her own. With their help, she might just live long enough to find out what they are.
