In a kingdom where interaction with magical creatures is punished with death, Sara Herbst spends her days in solitude and her nights risking her life to share tales of such supernatural beasts with the people of her town. When she discovers that she holds the power of the legendary tusked horse Rykte, she sets off on a quest to find a mythical chain that will force the tyrant king to revoke his merciless rule. Sara is accompanied on her journey by a mysterious and ambitious nymph and a longing hunter to gather the pieces of the chain, but not without the opposition of the king's authority and the deceit of the winter faerie Aisling. Sara must discover the secrets that lie behind her Rykte form and unlock the power of the chain before the king's law takes away her remaining safety from being hunted by the subjects of the kingdom, and ultimately her life and the lives of her closest companions. The cost that it must come at, however, is the very one that Sara wishes to preserve as she gets closer to challenging the king. Rykte's existence is at stake, but will the power of the chain save or ultimately destroy her?
