A Forest So Dark and Deadly

A world full of dangerous creatures. Two territories, one human, one Fae. The humans have many rules but above all, one warning; do not go deep into the forests where the Fae walk unless you plan on never coming back alive.

Kyra Hycroft: daughter of a brutal Warden who rules his territory with an iron fist.

When she is offered up as a prize for a dangerous race that her father creates to marry her off she has two choices: Accept her fate and forever be a pawn to the man who wins her hand in marriage, or claim a deadly birthright she never knew she had and enter a world rife with danger at every turn.

Rowan Castillo: the thief with Frostfire disease, an illness that is killing her slowly.

Unless she can afford the expensive treatments to stave off the disease, she will die. An outcast because of her disease, along with being 'Scourged' due to a previous crime, Rowan sees the race as a chance to disguise herself as a man and win the cash prize to finally pay off her debt, that is, if she survives long enough to stand a chance.

One race. One prize. One winner. Those are the rules.
