Paper Roses

Lucinda is the leader of Shadowfen, a large group of magic-doers on the easternmost point on Saga. Lucinda never agreed to take this position, but much like most firstborn children of leaders, it was her duty the moment her mother died. All was going well (for the most part) until someone appeared, unlike anything the Shadows had seen before. She had hair the color of sunlight and eyes the shade of the sea. And, to be completely honest with you, Lucinda couldn't possibly figure out a way to send a human back to the Oneworld.

Avery Diebenkorn had never been to Saga, let alone Shadowfen. She was your average college student: loads of debt and no sleep in the past forty-eight hours. So, when she awoke at the edge of a deep forest on a bed of moss, she assumed she had finally gone to sleep and was dreaming. But, when three people with smoke emanating from them and decidedly unnatural eyes, it was positive that Avery certainly wasn't in Virginia anymore.
