Since the day she was born, she has stayed hidden behind her mother's wards in the mountains of Colorado and forbidden to explore the outside world. That's because she's different, her mother tells her, but Ivy doesn't see it. She's just a normal curious girl who happens to know a bit of magic, no big deal. Except that it is a big deal, and the one time she ignores her mother's warnings and dares to leave the protection of the wards, she comes to regret it. Xavier has spent the last 3 years stalking the mountains of Colorado with his father and hunting for those who broke the sacred law. He misses his home of Brithari and loathes the stench of humans, so when they catch the scent of their prey, he's eager to do his duty. But what he finds is something that nobody has prepared him for. It's impossible. And yet it's happening. And that is only the beginning, for a war is coming, a war in which the abomination he found - the abomination, and yet so much more - will play the key role.
