Book Description
Juniper Thimble knows who she is and what her place in her world is…or, at least, she used to. As a thief, everything made sense. But when her identity as the last heir to the late King Balendin is used as leverage in an alliance, she isn’t sure who she is or who she wants to be. The palace treats her as the long-missing Princess Isolde, something delicate to be kept under lock and key…even if she is prophesied to defeat the evil archmage Nexon. But Juniper does what she has always done: she takes her fate into her own hands. Escaping the watchful eyes of her royal guards, Juniper makes her way to the forbidden Blackwood Wylds to find the only living person who can tell her how Nexon was defeated the first time—the Archmage of Air. In the Wylds, Juniper finds more than she bargained for when she stumbles upon and a lone village of druids, surrounded by the poisonous curse of the Wylds. The longer Juniper is in the village, the more she suspects the druids are hiding what they know about the missing archmage. But with the druids’ fear of magic and shadow beasts prowling the Wylds, Juniper must watch every step.
