The Secret Keeper's Daughter

My mother's dying words reveal a devastating truth: I'm half-fae. Before I can even process this, my stepfather announces he’s sold me off to a cruel stranger.

So I run.

Into the woods, where fae lurk in the shadows, waiting. The only person I trust is Harek, my best friend. Yet even he has been keeping secrets. Can I trust anyone at all?

Each step deeper into fae territory brings me closer to the truth about my father, the mysterious fae who abandoned me. He’s the key to understanding the strange power awakening inside me—power that sets my palm ablaze with an eerie orange light. But finding him means stepping into a world where halflings like me are hunted and despised, where ancient magic stirs in the darkness, and where every choice could be my last.

As the line between friend and foe blurs, and my feelings for Harek turn into something I’m not ready to face, I begin to wonder: What if the truth about who I am is the very thing that destroys me?
