In a land where laws strictly prohibit magic, she hands out dull, common-sense and useless futures—and she remains safe enough from jail or even execution. Just when she agrees to marry and settle even further into her mundane life, she receives a visitor who definitely doesn’t belong in her cottage. A tiny griffin with impertinent questions. Is this--a tiny cottage and deceiving old women--all that she really wants out of life? He needs a wee favor and offers a trade. Summerbird has to wheedle answers from the evasive creature and what she hears doesn't make her feel anything but incredulous. He needs her help rescuing several highborn Fey whose magic has been compromised by an evil mage. Oh, and who might not want anyone interfering with his plans. But the griffin assures her that she will have plenty of assistants, once she rescues them! She hesitates, until the griffin makes an irresistible offer--would she like to learn her magic? Follow Summerbird as she finally finds herself in Emythor, the magical lands of her birth, as she struggles to learn who—and what—she really is. She has been lured her into a world created by an omnipotent entity who is in danger and has disappeared. Where beautiful inhabitants prove that beauty can be wicked or noble and it can be impossible to know which is which. Emythor is a land that survives by taking magic from its people. Are they willing to give the land the ultimate in magic—their very lives?
