11 bab Lengkap Eliora May, a lifetime citizen of Maplemaw, is something many women are not.
Literate. An activist. But these become hard to complete as all is stripped away from her with the coming of unexpected news.
Marriage and war between the faeires and elves of Ilkaphene. A land of magic, where flowers and fungi grow as tall as their castles. Where forest creatures live in harmony. A land of peace.
A land where a fairy married an elf. A fairy princess marrying an elf princess at that.
Eliora begins to hear rumors of the war. How it was destroying an ethereal land. And, worst of all, how women were being silenced to prevent more "corruption".
As the war and its standards begin to seep into Elvangmort, changing Eliora's home into one of constrictions, hushed whispers, and worst of all, a hatred toward women, she knows that she must do something to save her freedom and the freedoms of those around her.
