Just east of the border of the kingdom of Spring lie the deserts of the Mountain Wyld. There at the southern oasis, a village is destroyed and most of the people are either killed or captured. A young Fawnin named Jari must protect her younger sister, a rare spirit prized by both Spring and Summer. Rumors of the Contest of Champions lead her to the heart of the east. The sisters find themselves pawns in the Alder King's game.
Can Jari keep her sister safe?
Can she hold on to her humanity in the process?
