A beautiful psychopath, an autistic fae, a fool boy. Monsters.

A character-driven fairy tale fantasy in which underpowered protagonists defeat enormous foes using cunning and ingenuity.

Fen is a young princess in hiding from the murderous rage of her grandfather. Tamberlyn is a poet of no particular skill or talent. Taliette is an indolent psychopath who spends her days tormenting servant girls.

But the old king is coming across the great divide, trailing giant monsters in his wake. Coming to burn Fen in the flame everlasting, and who will stand against him?

"It is truly beautifully written and original. It promises Pat Rothfuss, and it delivers Pat Rothfuss but shrouded in darkness and making you cry over goats." - PolinkaP (Into the Deep Wood)
