In the vibrant and cozy bordertown of Lindenvale, twenty-three-year-old Rinah Autumnsong bakes muffins and tends her garden like any other proper young lady. Her soft heart and sweet spirit draw friends and suitors alike into her orbit, but her adoptive father Alvyx envisions for her a life beyond simple domestic pleasures.
He trusts her with a secret - the first of many he's been keeping - that can both unlock incredible power and invite uncontrollable destruction.
When Rinah's gentle nature puts her and her family in danger, she is forced to choose between new love and ancient magic---and she risks losing both forever.
