The world was not made for people like her—Fleur knew that.
She was part of a long line of traveling merchants who sailed upon the seas, ones who were born into the same trade as their ancestors and who lived and died on the ocean, travelling to port after port, selling their wares, never able to put down roots anywhere.
From the very beginning, Fleur had accepted her destiny was to be a bookseller and a bookseller alone, but that all changes when her brother comes across an ancient Haldian tome, and rumor spreads of the book written in old fae—a book that her brother thinks will make their fortune and free them from their fate.
The only problem? The book vanishes, stolen by a rat-like fae and his friends, including a Leshy somehow turned wayward from the forest of Whynne where his roots were meant to be set.
Suddenly, Fleur’s brother is captured by the Haldian guard and the rag tag group of fae along with the stolen book are her only chance of retrieving them.
