Description
A jolt of movement drew her attention to the meadow floor. There was a creature in the field. Birdy’s heart hammered. In the gloom, she imagined Octavia, but the beast was too large to be the spider. She strained to focus better on the tiny scattering of light reaching her eyeballs. The creature moved, and something about that movement was odd, alien, wrong.
The Gnarlacre faeries are alone and vulnerable. Arcadia is trapped in another world, and the sleeping elders cannot be woken. The Veil has vanished, and the colony faces exposure and attack. Then, Morgayne appears, wielding powerful magic broken many centuries ago. Gratefully, the colony accepts Morgayne’s protection, unaware that the elder will exact an unthinkable price from many of them.
Birdy has seen a horrifying vision in the frozen, sickening forest, but that is where she and Bod must venture in search of the original guardians of Morgayne’s magic – joined by an unexpected companion, the flightless pair set off from Gnarlacre. The elves prove to be calm, kind, welcoming and wise, but they are no fighters. Can Birdy ask them to face their ancient enemy – an enemy who defeated the Old Tongue once before?
