The Archivum Eternal has begun writing...Will you dare to read? A single prophecy, inked in crimson was what started it all. Now, war is on the verge of breaking out, and the line between ally and enemy has already begun to blur. But not every danger lies on the battlefield, some lie even deeper within. It's a twisted chess game of cunning, betrayal and heartbreak. All that matters is who plays the pawn, and who plays the queen. But also who gets to say, 'checkmate'. There's 3 realms, 3 heirs, 3 clans, and a lot more secrets. And not a single one will remain hidden for long. In the centre of it all, a girl who thrives on the wild taste of adventure, and a boy whose life has been dictated by rules. It's not long before they find out that some rules... are made to be broken, and some, aren't. The Nyxari are on the move. And when a corrupted group of witches, ogres, and undead alike are after something, you know you've found your villains. But how can any of them be the villain when there was never a hero to begin with?

Thirteen-year-old Ginna's only connection to her long-dead mother is the dogwood in her backyard. The tree radiates a warm sort of buzz which might possibly be magic. Or is it a trick of her imagination? That's the agonizing question that earned her the label, "weirdo who talks to trees." And it's the reason Ginna is struggling with her plan to make one real friend. After an embarrassing attempt ends with Ginna kicking a soccer ball at a classmate's face, she retreats to the comfort of her tree-shaped companion to ask for help-and something strange happens. Ginna goes from mostly ignored to ridiculously popular overnight, and she's having conversations with someone or some thing inside her head. The source, an opinionated tree spirit named Dogwood, claims she accidentally stepped into Ginna's body. But now that the spirit has access to Ginna's thoughts and memories, she's in no hurry to go back where she belongs. Until Ginna figures out that Dogwood is hiding information about her mom. Now it's Ginna who doesn't want to let go. She has so many questions-but there's no time to wait for the stubborn spirit to answer. Ginna's body is becoming dangerously depleted and can no longer sustain Dogwood's energy. She'll have to find the courage to stand on her own before possession burnout destroys them both.
