When the prejudices of powerful neighbors intrude on the idyll of their isolated Freelander childhood, Arin’s magic is awakened and their life spirals into violence and tragedy.

In Reft, Arin learned that their magical abilities are rooted in their own pain and trauma. Since leaving, they have struggled against the chains of their past to make something of their future. Now they’ll need to find the strength to make new allies and to transform themself into a healer, a warrior, and a champion.
But the threads of the past run deeper than Arin can imagine, and their ties to a new rising power will lead them to a terrible choice: To embrace their nature as a witch and outcast, or to help reshape reality itself—and in doing so, erase their own destiny.
