PROLOGUE

She lost her mother to the Fae. She lost her father to his own guilt.

So Cristella decides, after many years of growing up and training with Willow, her only trusted guardian, to leave for Krekona and find the nicest way to murder its ruler.

But Queen Leanne is not so easy to get past. With the Fae Queen now on her tail, Cristella has to realise that to free the people of Krekona, she must either trust to rise, or lose to fall down.

Which path will she take?
