How it starts
Ferris Creed is desperate to break the curse that has plagued her hometown of Arringfall. The cursed forest of Taking Trees is spreading, and the only way to stop it is to retrieve the amulets belonging to the 13 spirits of the forest. Ferris joins the Great Hunt, a dangerous quest held every 50 years, where Champions compete for a boon that can change their fate. Despite not being a warrior or Fae, Ferris is determined to win. However, her path crosses with Prince Bane, a fearsome and morally grey figure who commands the Hollows. As they navigate the deadly trials of the forest, Ferris and Bane are drawn to each other, but their forbidden attraction is fraught with danger and secrets. For fans of Zodiac Academy, this dark romantasy offers a thrilling mix of seduction, spirits, and high-stakes adventure.
