Priestess Mary has lived a shadowed life on Avalon, silenced by her vows. Determined to awaken her dormant fae magic, she defies ancient law and ventures to the mainland of Ancient Wales—an act that shatters her world.
Exiled for her actions and cast into the hands of her manipulative, estranged father, the druid Cyrus, Mary is no longer just a priestess; she is a target. Pursued by the blood-drinking Grymadder, she faces a perilous journey where visions foreshadow war, magic is unbound, and a forbidden attraction to a dangerous warder with a shifting nature threatens the wrath of the goddesses.
Caught between meddling deities and protectors she cannot trust, Mary must stop listening to the whispers of what others expect of her—and seize the power within her own blood, taking control of her journey. This isn’t just about returning home—it’s about survival. And as an imprisoned fae tribe calls for freedom, Mary must embrace her heritage, which is her greatest weapon and deadliest curse.
In a fractured world rooted in ancient myth, a dormant magic is finally waking. As the shadow of fae hunters closes in, Mary must choose between Avalon and the dangerous truth burning within her blood.
