The kingdom of Brass is dying. For a hundred years, a curse has devoured its lands, starved its people, and darkened its skies. Each year, a chosen one arrives at the citadel gates, guided by mysterious whispers. Each year, they vanish without a trace.
Ysabel wasn't meant to be there. A rebellious princess and heir to the throne, she accidentally kills the sixth chosen one and takes his place, fleeing a castle too small to contain her and hoping to save her people. On her journey, she encounters Aerys. A small woodland spirit banished from his people, wandering alone for longer than he realizes, he seems insignificant. Yet something within him resonates with the prophecy in a way Ysabel doesn't yet understand.
Together, they delve into a world of ancient creatures, forgotten magic, and buried truths. The curse has a price. And it will be more devastating than anything Ysabel could have imagined.
