How it starts
Halja, a young woman marked as fae-touched due to her selkie heritage, is condemned as an outsider in her coastal village of Seonaid. After uncovering a devastating family secret, she flees her home and encounters Eilith, a wise Sourcerer who nurtures her latent fae powers by teaching her The Old Ways. Along her journey, she meets Byrgir, a mysterious warrior who sees past her fae-touched appearance. Together, they navigate a kingdom teetering on the brink of war, facing shadowy monsters and the Paragons of Light—a hostile religious cult determined to rid the land of fae influence. As Halja's relationship with Byrgir deepens, she must embrace her shapeshifting abilities and confront her identity to protect those she loves and challenge the rising tyranny of a powerful High Priestess. For fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas and The Cruel Prince by Holly Black.
