For years, Deila Kymiir dreamt of attending the extravagant and mysterious McCallum family gala. However, unlike others on the small island town, Deila couldn't be less excited for the fancy dresses and delicious food. All she wanted was the truth behind her mother's mysterious death, where all signs point to the McCallums being the cause. So when her invitation came in the mail, she knew it was time to investigate. Finally getting a chance to look around, she attempts to find the answers she's desperately craved. However, her investigation gets cut short when she's caught by the McCallums and thrown through the gate into an unknown world. One that reminded her of the scandinavian folklore her mother would describe to her as a child. Now, forced to pretend to be her mother in fear of the manipulative King Enzor of Echoria, Deila is dropped in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. She must balance learning about her secret fae heritage while surviving under the forceful rule of the king- or else she may never make it home.
