The Heart of a Beast

The Chronicles of Albaa: Part I

Anya and her family had fled the Floating City many years passed, when her father, once an exalted Master Merchant had lost everything to the Great Storm. They had been left with nothing but their lives and had gone north, to the wild lands beyond the protection of the Order and the fae-hunters. There they had lived in peace until her father received word that perhaps their wealth had returned.

Anya would stop at nothing to free her father. She would not see him enslaved to the hideous beast who would see them all dead, or as playthings to his fae-cursed subjects. She would venture to the icy lands of his kingdom; and she would see the beast's silver blood run down he edge of her blade.

But nothing is quite what she expected when she finds the Fae Court - or more aptly when it finds her.
