Two worlds. One forbidden love. A choice that could destroy them both.
When seventeen-year-old parkour champion Willow McBane is uprooted from London to a run-down cottage in Gloucestershire, she expects nothing but loneliness and boredom. Instead, she discovers a hidden world in the forest behind her home—and Raff Dunaid, a secretive boy with the bearing of a prince.
Raff is heir to Emberlyn, a magical realm powered by elemental currents that also sustain life on Earth. But the connection between their worlds is failing. If the last link is severed, Emberlyn will survive. Earth will not.
When a plan is set in motion to clear the trees of Deepwood—the final place where magic still flows between realms—Willow reluctantly joins Raff to save the gateway. But Raff is hiding a dangerous prophecy, and his ruthless brother Faylan is determined to make sure it comes true.
