"Milliana ran down an unending darkness. It was not until she recognized the feel of grass snapping under the soles of her feet that the darkness thinned and a faint light illuminated the forest she was in—a light which seemed to emanate from her very skin. Something was coming after her, swiftly drawing closer. She felt her pursuer’s breath at the back of her neck, causing her hair to stand on end. She turned but found no one.
'Faster,' she thought, 'I must run faster!'
☽ ☀ ☾
As the heiress to the greatest fortune in Fathruse, Milliana von Lux lived a sheltered life within the safety of the Septim, a city built atop seven thin mountain formations, which housed the kingdom’s most revered warriors—the Soldiers von Lux. Every one of them loyal to her grandfather. But when the Septim is attacked in the dead of night, Milliana’s world turns upside down as she is plunged into uncertainty and peril. Whisked away from battle and carried across the night sky by the arcane winds, she wakes to find herself deep within the margins of the forbidden Dark Forest, where she meets a mysterious and handsome stranger whose very presence would have her believe that the otherly and their magic may be so much more than tales and myth.
Milliana must make her way out of the forest and hasten home to discover the outcome and reason behind the attack blatantly launched on her grandfather’s city. But what awaits her upon her return and what she later learns may steer her further away from home . . .
