Carve out their hearts. Take their power.
When a human girl is caught in a conflict between wildlings, Lords, and powerful magic, she'll have to trust a dangerous enemy to make it out alive.
No one remembers when the Wilds-magic forests full of vicious beasts and even more vicious wildlings-first began covering the human world. All Val wants is to carve out and sell heart gems from the Wilds' beasts to help her family survive. Then Rune catches her, and she's thrust into a vicious conflict between Lords, kings, and awakening gods, where Val herself might be the Wilds' salvation, or ruination.
To Rune, desperate to retake his high throne of the Wilds, Val and her hidden magic are a tool. To Val, Rune is a threat to everything she loves. He's also the only one she can rely on.
But in a world where monsters come in many forms, both the Wilds and Rune hold secrets, and if Val's not careful it might be her own heart she loses next.
The first book in a lush YA fantasy set in a Wilds-covered world, filled with adventure, heartbreak, and an epic enemies-to-lovers romance.
