Fiadh is a foundling. She is also a Faoladh whose wolfish nature and plain features set her apart from a society that values beauty, titles, and fitting the status quo. Life was never going to be easy. But she experiences a stroke of luck when her mother takes a job in King Artair's castle and is gifted four new friendships: Marrok Allaway, an outcast like herself due to his Werewolf and Wanderer heritage, and through him, his older brother Caradoc; the Princess Olivia, who is as kind as she is beautiful; and the king himself, Artair, wise and compassionate ruler of Inisrealta in the Hy-Brasil Archipelago. To put her swords skills to good use, she is trained as a shieldmaiden. She stood a chance at a peaceful life. Until the mysterious White Queen rose to power, sending her minions, the Ghastly Men, across Inisrealta, bringing war, famine, and sorrow in her wake. Now, ten years later, Fiadh's sister has been cursed, and the pair of them have to run to the shelter of Caradoc's kingdom-where things are not what they seem-and where Fiadh will have to decide whether to save the man she believes betrayed her, or to let the White Queen destroy everything she holds dear.
